Abstract
Encrypted ClientHello (ECH) key pairs need to be configured into TLS servers, which can be built using different TLS libraries. This document specifies a standard file format for this purpose, similar to how RFC 7468 defines other Privacy-Enhanced Mail (PEM) file formats.
For the definition of Status, see RFC 2026.
For the definition of Stream, see RFC 8729.
