A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : TLS Inner Application Extension (TLS/IA)
Author(s) : P. Funk, et al.
Filename : draft-funk-tls-inner-application-extension-01.txt
Pages : 32
Date : 2005-2-21
This document defines a new TLS extension called "Inner
Application". When TLS is used with the Inner Application extension
(TLS/IA), additional messages are exchanged after completion of the
TLS handshake, in effect providing an extended handshake prior to
the start of upper layer data communications. Each TLS/IA message
contains an encrypted sequence of Attribute-Value-Pairs (AVPs) from
the RADIUS/Diameter namespace. Hence, the AVPs defined in RADIUS and
Diameter have the same meaning in TLS/AI; that is, each attribute
code point refers to the same logical attribute in any of these
protocols. Arbitrary "applications" may be implemented using the AVP
exchange. Possible applications include EAP or other forms of user
authentication, client integrity checking, provisioning of
additional tunnels, and the like. Use of the RADIUS/Diameter
namespace provides natural compatibility between TLS/IA applications
and widely deployed AAA infrastructures.

In the body type:

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
