# Working Group Drafts

## TLS 1.3 Extension for Certificate-based Authentication with an
External Pre-Shared Key - Russ Housley

- Draft defines an extension to the TLS handshake, adding an optional
parameter allowing the External PSK to be combined with EC(DHE) as
secret inputs to the key schedule.

- Watson Ladd: does this enable the sending of early data?

- RH: No; explicitly stated to be out of scope in the draft.

- ANO: formal review would be desirable.

- Ekr: don’t think we should pass this until someone has implemented it.

- RH: as the first slide notes, this is experimental.

- one hand in response to question about implementations.

- * Next Steps: additional review (probably WGLC).


# Individual Drafts

## TLS Resumption across Server Name Indications for TLS 1.3 - Erik Sy

- TLS 1.3 recommends against, but doesn’t give a good indication of
what criteria to consider, or a signalling mechanism to say if the
server supports Resumption.

- Performance benefits, CPU time and elapsed time improvements may be
valid criteria - TLS extension would be needed to signal that this
option is available, e.g, a simple flag.

- Privacy impact could be reduced by enforcing shorter session lengths.

- Ekr: where should the extension go? - in the EE. Needs to be made
clearer in the doc.

- Ekr: should also be clear about whether resumption should require a
fresh DNS request

- Ekr: is a 1-bit flag really sufficient? - yes, otherwise would need
to specify a list of values for which Resumption is OK, and that would
make implementation harder.

- Ekr: should TLS, in principle, define a general-purpose extension
space rather than a bunch of specific flags?

- Yoav Nir: 1-bit flag may introduce address space/scope clashes at
the server, and different servers might have different requirements.
Not a good idea to allow reconnection to “any server”. - Server
identification could be aided by reference to the X.509 cert.

- Viktor: recommends using a session ticket extension for this, not
the handshake itself.

- Viktor: shortening the acceptable resumption period, as proposed, is
rational, but privacy implications probably need further examination.
- 10 muinutes is a figure of merit.

- Nick Sullivan: Where an X.509 cert has broad scope (across multiple
servers), additional parameters may be needed to ensure Yoav’s concern
isn’t an issue. Relying only on the -.509 cert makes unreasonable
assumptions.


## Importing External PSKs for TLS - Christopher Wood

- TLS 1.3 imposes restriction on PSK usage with hash functions; TLS
1.2 did not impose this restriction - so the resulting incompatibility
(and potential for inappropriate use of PSKs)  must be handled
(ideally) without changing the key schedule.

- Christian Huitema: working on a draft that generalizes DNS-SD
technique for external PSK identifiers in TLS.

- Jon Mattsson: question about using one hash algorithm to generate
keys for use with another.

- ANO: Does the PSK constitute a channel binding? Depending how the
External PSK is generated, this and the Resumption issue may overlap.
A subsequent session has no way of knowing how the previous session
was established.

- Ekr: reusing hashes as proposed is secure. [Discussion inconclusive,
needs further examination].

- * No objections to adoption as a work item. Take to list.


## TLS Client Network Address Extension - Tommy Pauly

- Purpose: NAT detection in secure transport protocols

- Relates to these drafts specifying extensions:

- TLS, draft-kinnear-tls-client-net-address

- QUIC, draft-pauly-quic-address-extension

- Wes H.: is this specific to NATv4? - it applies everywhere.

- Wes H: Why is this a TLS-specific problem? - for QUIC, this is a
transport handshake question. For TLS, it would be more complicated to
put it elsewhere (?).

- DKG: what would a client do with this information? - the only real
purpose of this is to check that you’re not behind a NAT.

- * Discussion moved to the list for timekeeping reasons.


## Using Identity as Raw Public Key in Transport Layer Security (TLS)
and Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) - Haiguang Wang

- Using Identity Based Signature exempts the server from having to
maintain records of the binding between a raw public key and the
entity presenting it.

- * Next steps: ask to reserve specific code points for this mechanism
to use in implementation and testing.

# Working Group Drafts

## Deprecating TLS 1.0 and 1.1

- TODO: update to deprecate DTLS 1.0

- Update to require NNTP to do the right thing

- * Hearing no objection, headed for WGLC


## DTLS 1.3

- Issue 78 - we will say MUST limit amplification until the path is
validated somehow.

- - … and we will separately say that though there is a CID, there is
not a migration piece - that is, endpoints don't send to new addresses
in response to receiving valid records from those addresses.

- Issue 72 - No change.

- Implementation status - NSS, Mint, mbedTLS.


## Cert Compression

- Add decompressed certificate to transcript?  No.

- * Will write up changes, then WGLC.


## Delegated credentials

- * Ready for LC? Yes, most likely.


## ESNI

- Current solution with PR#137 as an extension? Unclear from the room.

- Will an ESNI RRType Diverge from the A/AAAA results?

- [[lots of discussion, no resolutions]]


# Individual Drafts

## OPAQUE in TLS 1.3

- We should wait for CFRG to opine.

- Cisco has a use case, some possibility of web API?

- * No action, due to novelty.


## Hybrid key exchange

- Probably too early, given that research on combinations still active.


## CWTs in TLS / DTLS

- Would need to restrict to PoP tokens.

- * No action, due to novelty


## Fake SNI

- Should be compared to earlier draft on attacks against SNI approaches.

- * No action, due to novelty.
