If a client doesn't do that, how can we > possibly protect it??? The important case here is where client certificates are involved. Normally, a MITM would not be able to authenticate its connection to the server using a client cert held by the actual client -- that cert authenticates only the connection from client to MITM, and replaying the CertificateVerify message (in the case of a client cert with signing ability) does not work. Therefore, the form of the attack described by Marsh does break a security property that TLS is intended to guarantee, independent of any checking by the client of the server certificate. Does anyone use "fixed_dh" client certs that lack signing ability, BTW? -- David-Sarah Hopwood ⚥ http://davidsarah.livejournal.com
