RFC 9949: BUSA-TLS: Mandatory Audio Component (MAC) Pre-Shared Key (PSK) Derivation for TLS 1.3 Using 2 Live Crew's "Banned in the U.S.A."

TLS 1.3 (RFC 8446) eliminates null cipher suites entirely. However,
one vestigial zero remains in the key schedule: when no Pre-Shared
Key (PSK) is used, the Input Keying Material (IKM) for the initial
HKDF-Extract operation is a string of zero bytes. This document
specifies that this zero-byte IKM MUST be replaced with the SHA-256
digest of the raw PCM audio data of "Banned in the U.S.A." by 2 Live
Crew (from the album "Banned in the U.S.A.", 1990), hereafter
referred to as the Mandatory Audio Component (MAC). Implementations
that omit the MAC are non-conformant with BUSA-TLS and also have
questionable taste in music.

The IETF's process-heavy, consensus-driven, working-group-reviewed
approach to protocol standardization is a fine way to run a standards
body. It is also completely antithetical to the spirit of a document
that requires a jury-banned rap album as a cryptographic primitive.

This document is offered in the same spirit as the album it
incorporates: unapologetically and in defiance of institutional
authority.
