TLS Server Identity Pinning with Tickets
draft-sheffer-tls-pinning-ticket-08
Abstract
Misissued public-key certificates can prevent TLS clients from
appropriately authenticating the TLS server. Several alternatives
have been proposed to detect this situation and prevent a client from
establishing a TLS session with a TLS end point authenticated with an
illegitimate public-key certificate, but none is currently in wide
use.
This document proposes to extend TLS with opaque pinning tickets as a
way to pin the server's identity. During an initial TLS session, the
server provides an original encrypted pinning ticket. In subsequent
TLS session establishment, upon receipt of the pinning ticket, the
server proves its ability to decrypt the pinning ticket and thus the
ownership of the pinning protection key. The client can now safely
conclude that the TLS session is established with the same TLS server
as the original TLS session. One of the important properties of this
proposal is that no manual management actions are required.
