Transport Layer Security (TLS) handshakes often include fairly static
information, such as the server certificate and a list of trusted
certification authorities (CAs). This information can be of
considerable size, particularly if the server certificate is bundled
with a complete certificate chain (i.e., the certificates of
intermediate CAs up to the root CA).
This document defines an extension that allows a TLS client to inform
a server of cached information, thereby enabling the server to omit
already available information.
This document is a product of the Transport Layer Security Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track
protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Official
Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the

memo is unlimited.
