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 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.
