But it totally breaks the middleware > _at_the_endpoints_! Allowing padding is already a large benefit. TLS 1.2 AEAD modes don't allow padding, causing rather large unavoidable information leaks. Especially with HTTP/1.1, which doesn't have application-level padding mechanism nor multiplexing. Also, things like this should have been discussed like year or two ago. Right now it is too late for major changes like this without good cryptographic justifications (which AFAICT don't exist). > > And also, TLS 1.3 handshake is so darn different from TLS 1.2, that > > you couldn't do anything sane even if you had record types. > > If one is using an architecture where the TLS protocol stack is > transportless, so that the network communication can be performed > efficiently (coalescing TLS records that are trickling in), then > the *REAL* content type is quite important for knowing whether > the TLS handshake is still ongoing, or whether it is already > complete. I implemented zero-copy (for TLS decoding) packet receving in TLS lib I am writing. Works in both TLS 1.2 and 1.3. Rather big efficiency boost too... I suspect doing the same for encoding would be another big efficiency boost. > The way I've built this is that the middleware has a timeout for > the TLS handshake in its entirety (independent of the number of > roundtrips), and at the same time promises the application a > network readable event for every incoming TLS record with > application data.

Note that even if the record is truly appdata, it may not contain any data, and one can't tell this from just the type. > For processing TLS records with Handshake messages, pre-reading and > passing multiple of them is preferable and much more efficient > (if TLS handshake messages come in seperate TLS records each, which > some implementations do).

Also, TLS 1.3, it isn't safe to reorder appdata records across handshake records, which can be sent after primary handshake has completed. -Ilari
