Abstract:
   The Transport Layer Security (TLS) master secret is not
   cryptographically bound to important session parameters.
   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.
