A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : X.509v3 Extension: OCSP Stapling Required Author(s) : Phillip Hallam-Baker Filename : draft-hallambaker-tlssecuritypolicy-02.txt Pages : 10 Date : 2012-10-19 Abstract: The purpose of the TLS Security Policy extension is to prevent downgrade attacks that are not otherwise prevented by the TLS protocol. In particular, the TLS Security Policy extension may be used to mandate support for revocation checking features in the TLS protocol such as OCSP stapling. Informing clients that an OCSP status response will always be stapled permits an immediate failure in the case that the response is not stapled. This in turn prevents a denial of service attack that might otherwise be possible.
