Abstract:
   The Transport Layer Security (TLS) master secret is not
   cryptographically bound to important session parameters such as the
   client and server identities.  Consequently, it is possible for an
   active attacker to set up two sessions, one with a client and another
   with a server, such that the master secrets on the two sessions are
   the same.  Thereafter, any mechanism that relies on the master secret
   for authentication, including session resumption, becomes vulnerable
   to a man-in-the-middle attack, where the attacker can simply forward
   messages back and forth between the client and server.  This
   specification defines a TLS extension that contextually binds the
   master secret to a log of the full handshake that computes it, thus
   preventing such attacks.
