Abstract

Most of privacy exchanges over the Internet rely on the TLS protocol. According to this protocol two entities the client and the server computes a master secret from which are deduced cryptographic keys used for data privacy and security. Digital transactions may deal with critical information (payments ...) that need to be recorded for traceability issues or for legal requirements. However messages are secured by the TLS protocol, so it is not possible for a third party that logs packets to perform decryption operations upon legitimate requests. The goal of this draft is to support a Trusted Third Party (TTP) that could recover the protected information when needed. The proposed protocol uses the Tripartite Diffie-Hellman (tdh) algorithm based on bilinear pairings over elliptic curves.
