The most simplistic approch to renego protection is 1. the client signals that it is patched through a fake ciphersuite ID in each ClientHello 2. the client only supports secure renegotiation and secure renegotiation is specified to change the definition of the handshake message hash for renegotiation handshakes to include the verify_data of the client.finished and server.finished after the ServerHello. Everything else is options for vendors and users. If we do not provide a standardized signaling Server->Client in the client hello, then it is not possible for the clients to offer the option for insecure renegotiation (I have no idea whether such a desire exists, but it might easily exist during transition). With this simplistic approach, an MITM can not proxy a clients initial handshake into an updated servers renegotiation, even when the server still allows insecure renegotiation (e.g. during the transition period). I really like to hear convincing arguments why we need the TLS extension in the renegotiation handshake, and why changing the definition for the handshake message hash instead is not a superior alternative. In particular one that will grow naturally into future TLS revisions. -Martin
