This is patently untrue. There is a vast body of research analysing TLS
1.2 and earlier. A good survey article is here:

https://eprint.iacr.org/2013/049


(but even this is quite out of date in several respects). The literature
for TLS 1.3 is growing, but is an order of magnitude smaller in size. It
is pretty much represented in its entirety by the list of presentations at
the recent TRON workshop:

http://www.internetsociety.org/events/ndss-symposium-2016/tls-13-ready-or-n
ot-tron-workshop-programme


As far as I know, the only complete analysis so far is this one:

http://tls13tamarin.github.io/TLS13Tamarin/


(full disclosure: two of my PhD students are involved). However, even
there, the analysis is symbolic and does not include 0-RTT (IIRC).

Maybe you'd care to revise your bold statement above?

Cheers

Kenny
