A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : Problem Statement: Deployment of TLS Strong Authentication Author(s) : Karl Malbrain Filename : draft-malbrain-tls-strong-authentication-00.txt Pages : 6 Date : 2013-09-17 Abstract: The security provided by authenticated TLS connection between clients and servers should protect both parties from "Man-in- the-Middle" (MITM) attacks. Clients should be authenticating that the server they are connected to is the server they requested, and servers that act as client agents need to authenticate that the connection is directly to their client. An extension to the Domain Name System (DNS), The DNS-Based Authentication of Named Entities (DANE) (RFC 6698), allows TLS servers to publish their public certificates for use by TLS clients to authenticate the server connection.
