C07-YG: Yes
Rationale
The column now explicitly selects TLS 1.3. RFC 8446 section 5.4 and appendix E.3 provide encrypted record padding and padding-only traffic, qualifying under C07 optional-mechanism rules. This is TLS-layer capability, not an application feature or evidence that a deployed client exposes a padding policy. Timing and residual length correlation remain possible.
Assessment method
Documentary analysis
Source context
Primary specification / selected profile
Outstanding qualification
Pin the TLS implementation and API/configuration enabling a padding policy; verify records on every observed segment and evaluate correlation reduction, latency and bandwidth cost. TLS 1.3 capability is not evidence of enabled defaults or effective end-to-end cover. No test executed.
