This sounds like a good idea. I certainly like how it eliminates a number of variations (particularly the one that #209 added). It enables unilateral client authentication, which is a big plus. My biggest concern would be the one you note and how this interacts with the session transcript. It seems OK to me, but I'd like Hugo or Karthik to spend a few cycles thinking about that one before I'm confident there isn't an actual problem. How many Certificate+CertificateVerify messages would a client be permitted to send. 1? N? (I think 1) If the answer to the above is N, does the client's Certificate+CertificateVerify somehow identify the CertificateRequest? That is, how does the server identify whether this is unilateral or in response to its own request? How does a client determine if the NewSessionTicket that it receives includes its authentication? That is, how can a client know whether a resumed session will need a certificate or not? (I'm not sure about this one, but the first thought that occurs is that the server could include an indicator in the NewSessionTicket message.) Does the session need to be rekeyed as a result of this new information? (I think not, though see above regarding analysis.) Do we allow for application data between Certificate and CertificateVerify? (I think not.) Question: What value do you see in having a spontaneous NewSessionTicket messages? Is this just a case of not wanting to bind it more formally to something that the client sends? I worry that we'll have cases where the session tickets encompass new states if we permit that.

This is fine. I do wonder whether we can remove CertificateType entirely for TLS 1.3 though (that can be done separately). > > The second is worrisome. I don't like that a handshake message now has two different potential locations that it might appear in. That seems like a hazard. I think that we need a new content type for a new message that can be used after the handshake completes. Then there are two options: > a) remove CertificateRequest from the handshake entirely and allow the handshake to complete before authenticating (this has a number of hazards that make it probably worse than the duplication it addresses) > b) use CertificateRequest within the handshake, and the new content type outside of it > > _______________________________________________ > TLS mailing list > TLS@ietf.org > https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/tls
