Yea, I believe the draft-rescorla-tls-extended-random is quite famous as a backdoor, along with Dual_EC_DRBG. ---------------------------------------- Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2015 21:32:51 +0100 From: azet@azet.org To: tls@ietf.org Subject: Re: [TLS] Questions about some expired drafts Hi *, Salz, Rich wrote: > https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00 > > https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-rescorla-tls-extended-random-02 > > OpenSSL includes at least the opaque-prf one.

Furthermore it adds unnecessary complexity on both ends. * draft-rescorla-tls-extended-random-02: Same as above. Also: BULLRUN/EDGEHILL explicitly mention subversion of standards by not only the NSA but specifically one of the authors subdivisions. Don't want to start tinfoil-hattery here but these IDs are rather useless, and to be honest if US Gov. really /needs/ to use these extensions they could go ahead and use them anyway without being a standard as they do with other crypto primitives.
