1. Introduction
After problems were found with the channel binding types defined in
[RFC5929] they were not defined for TLS 1.3 (see [RFC8446] section
7.5). To facilitate channel binding with TLS 1.3, a new channel
binding type is needed.
1.1. Conventions and Terminology
Throughout this document the acronym "EKM" is used to refer to
Exported Keying Material as defined in [RFC5705].
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP
14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.
2. The 'tls-exporter' Channel Binding Type
IANA will register the 'tls-exporter' channel binding type to match
the description below.
Description: The EKM value obtained from the current TLS connection.
The EKM is obtained using the keying material exporters for TLS as
defined in [RFC5705] by supplying the following inputs:
Label: The ASCII string "EXPORTER-Channel-Binding" with no
terminating NUL.
Context value: Empty context value.
Length: 32 bytes.

Internet-Draft Channel Bindings for TLS 1.3 June 2020
When TLS renegotiation is enabled channel binding using the "tls-
exporter" type is not define and MUST NOT be supported.
3. Security Considerations
While it is possible to use this channel binding mechanism with TLS
versions below 1.3, extra precaution must be taken to ensure that the
chosen cipher suites always result in unique master secrets. For
more information see the Security Considerations section of
[RFC5705].
The Security Considerations sections of [RFC5056], [RFC5705], and
[RFC8446] apply to this document.
4. IANA Considerations
4.1. Registration of Channel Binding Type
This document adds the following registration in the "Channel-Binding
Types" registry:
Subject: Registration of channel binding tls-exporter
Channel binding unique prefix: tls-exporter
Channel binding type: unique
Channel type: TLS [RFC8446]
Published specification: draft-ietf-kitten-tls-channel-bindings-for-
tls13-00
Channel binding is secret: no
Description: <See specification>
Intended usage: COMMON

Expert reviewer name and contact information: IETF KITTEN or TLS WG
(kitten@ietf.org or tls@ietf.org, failing that, ietf@ietf.org).
Note: See the published specification for advice on the
applicability of this channel binding type.
