Still current, but amended. Parts of this document are changed or extended by RFC 8996, RFC 10015. Read both.

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

This document specifies authentication-only ciphersuites (with no encryption) for the Pre-Shared Key (PSK) based Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. These ciphersuites are useful when authentication and integrity protection is desired, but confidentiality is not needed or not permitted. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
