More comments: - Consider an implementation like Windows' SSPI-based implementation. Or, for that matter, the old GGF (Global Grid Forum) GSS-API interface to TLS. In such an implementation each TLS connection is a distinct "security context". So in the re-negotiation case there are two distinct negotiations, each being an application-driven API (i.e., in each case the application calls functions like the GSS-API GSS_Init_sec_context() and GSS_Accept_sec_context()). So how would an implementor with such an API implement your proposal? Like so: 1) Add a function to extract the Finished messages from a TLS "security context". This is trivial to do: it's just a new function, an accessor of security contexts. 2) Add a function or input to the init/accept_sec_context functions by which to pass in, to a new "security context", the Finished messages of another TLS "security context". This can't easily be done as a new accessor-type function -- it has to be a new function argument, which... can't be done, so that one has to simply add new versions of the init/accept_sec_context functions. But wait! The SSPI/GSS-API already have the (2)! And we call it a "channel binding" input. You can see where I'm going with this. It will help keep existing APIs clean if you just stick to the RFC5056 model and call this "channel binding". That is, I propose that you re-shape the proposal as a generic channel binding facility for TLS. The actual changes to the proposal are fairly minor: a) the proposed extension needs to carry an opaque octet string of variable length, b) the server should echo a trivial transformation of the client-provided string.
