Abstract:
The Transport Layer Security (TLS) master secret is not
cryptographically bound to important session parameters such as the
client and server identities. Consequently, it is possible for an
active attacker to set up two sessions, one with a client and another
with a server such that the master secrets on the two sessions are
the same. Thereafter, any mechanism that relies on the master secret
for authentication, including renegotiation after session resumption,
becomes vulnerable to a man-in-the-middle attack, where the attacker
can simply forward messages back and forth between the client and
server. This specification defines a TLS extension that contextually
binds the master secret to a log of the full handshake that computes
it, thus preventing such attacks.
