Title : X.509v3 TLS Feature Extension
Author : Phillip Hallam-Baker
Filename : draft-hallambaker-tlsfeature-04.txt
Pages : 8
Date : 2014-06-11
Abstract:
The purpose of the TLS Feature extension is to prevent downgrade
attacks that are not otherwise prevented by the TLS protocol. In
particular, the TLS Feature 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.
