Confirmed. I'm only adding checks to ensure that sessions are acceptable 
according to local constraints, which may be influenced by information 
in messages. If you think additional validation is needed, please create 
another ticket. I believe I have addressed the issues with protocol 
version and cipher suite (because they are related to local 
constraints), and the only remaining issue is the check for 
peer-supported signature schemes.

Sorry. I misunderstood what you asked. I think we should do the same 
thing, and this is a minor bug in the Webrev. At the point where the 
client's PSK extension is processed, the protocol version has already 
been negotiated. So the server can check the session version against the 
negotiated version. The latest Webrev has this change.

I misunderstood this question, too. I agree that we should add this 
check to make sure the cipher suite in the session can be negotiated. 
This change is in the updated Webrev.

Note that the relationship between sessions/PSKs and cipher suites is 
different in TLS 1.2 vs 1.3. In TLS 1.3, the cipher suite doesn't need 
to match---only the hash algorithm needs to match. We can make our 
implementation more permissive in the future, but for now, checking 
cipher suites is simpler.
