Subject: [Cfrg] Nomination of OPAQUE

Following Watson's example, I want to nominate OPAQUE as candidate for an
*augmented* PAKE in the CFRG selection process.

The protocol is defined in quite high level in
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-krawczyk-cfrg-opaque/

A benefit of OPAQUE is its modular design that allows to more easily
integrate it with different protocols, such as TLS and IKE. In particular,
the draft  includes a discussion of how to integrate it with TLS. A more
detailed treatment of such integration appears in
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-sullivan-tls-opaque-00

A  more detailed and precise specification, including a standalone
specification, will be developed in future versions taking into account
CFRG feedback.
