Without the downgrade protection specified in this TLS extension, the only effect of deploying {[}dnssec-chain-extension{]} is to reduce TLS security from the standard "WebPKI security" to "WebPKI or DANE, whichever is weaker". This draft dictates that {[}dnssec-chain-extension{]} MUST only be used in combination with this TLS extension, whose only content is a two octet SupportLifetime value. A value of 0 prohibits the TLS client from unilaterally requiring ongoing use of both TLS extensions based on prior observation of their use (pinning). A non-zero value is the value in hours for which this TLS extension as well as {[}dnssec-chain-extension{]} MUST appear in subsequent TLS handshakes to the same TLS hostname and port. If this TLS extention or {[}dnssec-chain-extension{]} is missing from the TLS handshake within this observed pinning time, the TLS client MUST assume it is under attack and abort the TLS connection.}, }
