51 This document describes extensions that may be used to add
52 functionality to Transport Layer Security (TLS). It provides both
53 generic extension mechanisms for the TLS handshake client and server
54 hellos, and specific extensions using these generic mechanisms.
56 The extensions may be used by TLS clients and servers. The
57 extensions are backwards compatible - communication is possible
58 between TLS 1.0 clients that support the extensions and TLS 1.0
59 servers that do not support the extensions, and vice versa.

107 This document describes extensions that may be used to add
108 functionality to Transport Layer Security (TLS). It provides both
109 generic extension mechanisms for the TLS handshake client and server
110 hellos, and specific extensions using these generic mechanisms.
112 TLS is now used in an increasing variety of operational environments
113 - many of which were not envisioned when the original design criteria
114 for TLS were determined. The extensions introduced in this document
115 are designed to enable TLS to operate as effectively as possible in
116 new environments like wireless networks.
118 Blake-Wilson, et. al. Standards Track [Page 2]
120 Internet-Draft TLS Extensions November 2004
123 Wireless environments often suffer from a number of constraints not
124 commonly present in wired environments. These constraints may
125 include bandwidth limitations, computational power limitations,
126 memory limitations, and battery life limitations.
128 The extensions described here focus on extending the functionality
129 provided by the TLS protocol message formats. Other issues, such as
130 the addition of new cipher suites, are deferred.
132 Specifically, the extensions described in this document are designed
135 - Allow TLS clients to provide to the TLS server the name of the
136 server they are contacting. This functionality is desirable to
137 facilitate secure connections to servers that host multiple
138 'virtual' servers at a single underlying network address.
140 - Allow TLS clients and servers to negotiate the maximum fragment
141 length to be sent. This functionality is desirable as a result of
142 memory constraints among some clients, and bandwidth constraints
143 among some access networks.
145 - Allow TLS clients and servers to negotiate the use of client
146 certificate URLs. This functionality is desirable in order to
147 conserve memory on constrained clients.
149 - Allow TLS clients to indicate to TLS servers which CA root keys
150 they possess. This functionality is desirable in order to prevent
151 multiple handshake failures involving TLS clients that are only
152 able to store a small number of CA root keys due to memory
155 - Allow TLS clients and servers to negotiate the use of truncated
156 MACs. This functionality is desirable in order to conserve
157 bandwidth in constrained access networks.
159 - Allow TLS clients and servers to negotiate that the server sends
160 the client certificate status information (e.g., an Online
161 Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) [OCSP] response) during a TLS
162 handshake. This functionality is desirable in order to avoid
163 sending a Certificate Revocation List (CRL) over a constrained
164 access network and therefore save bandwidth.
166 In order to support the extensions above, general extension
167 mechanisms for the client hello message and the server hello message
174 Blake-Wilson, et. al. Standards Track [Page 3]
176 Internet-Draft TLS Extensions November 2004
179 The extensions described in this document may be used by TLS 1.0
180 clients and TLS 1.0 servers. The extensions are designed to be
181 backwards compatible - meaning that TLS 1.0 clients that support the
182 extensions can talk to TLS 1.0 servers that do not support the
183 extensions, and vice versa.
185 Backwards compatibility is primarily achieved via two considerations:
187 - Clients typically request the use of extensions via the extended
188 client hello message described in Section 2.1. TLS 1.0 [TLS]
189 requires servers to accept extended client hello messages, even if
190 the server does not "understand" the extension.
192 - For the specific extensions described here, no mandatory server
193 response is required when clients request extended functionality.
195 Note however, that although backwards compatibility is supported,
196 some constrained clients may be forced to reject communications with
197 servers that do not support the extensions as a result of the limited
198 capabilities of such clients.
200 The remainder of this document is organized as follows. Section 2
201 describes general extension mechanisms for the client hello and
202 server hello handshake messages. Section 3 describes specific
203 extensions to TLS 1.0. Section 4 describes new error alerts for use
204 with the TLS extensions. The final sections of the document address
205 IPR, security considerations, registration of the application/pkix-
206 pkipath MIME type, acknowledgements, and references.
208 2. General Extension Mechanisms
210 This section presents general extension mechanisms for the TLS
211 handshake client hello and server hello messages.
213 These general extension mechanisms are necessary in order to enable
214 clients and servers to negotiate whether to use specific extensions,
215 and how to use specific extensions. The extension formats described
216 are based on [MAILING LIST].
218 Section 2.1 specifies the extended client hello message format,
219 Section 2.2 specifies the extended server hello message format, and
220 Section 2.3 describes the actual extension format used with the
221 extended client and server hellos.
230 Blake-Wilson, et. al. Standards Track [Page 4]
232 Internet-Draft TLS Extensions November 2004
234 2.1. Extended Client Hello
236 Clients MAY request extended functionality from servers by sending
237 the extended client hello message format in place of the client hello
238 message format. The extended client hello message format is:
241 ProtocolVersion client_version;
243 SessionID session_id;
244 CipherSuite cipher_suites<2..2^16-1>;
245 CompressionMethod compression_methods<1..2^8-1>;
246 Extension client_hello_extension_list<0..2^16-1>;
249 Here the new "client_hello_extension_list" field contains a list of
250 extensions. The actual "Extension" format is defined in Section 2.3.
252 In the event that a client requests additional functionality using
253 the extended client hello, and this functionality is not supplied by
254 the server, the client MAY abort the handshake.
256 Note that [TLS], Section 7.4.1.2, allows additional information to be
257 added to the client hello message. Thus the use of the extended
258 client hello defined above should not "break" existing TLS 1.0
261 A server that supports the extensions mechanism MUST accept only
262 client hello messages in either the original or extended ClientHello
263 format, and (as for all other messages) MUST check that the amount of
264 data in the message precisely matches one of these formats; if not
265 then it MUST send a fatal "decode_error" alert. This overrides the
266 "Forward compatibility note" in [TLS].
268 2.2. Extended Server Hello
270 The extended server hello message format MAY be sent in place of the
271 server hello message when the client has requested extended
272 functionality via the extended client hello message specified in
273 Section 2.1. The extended server hello message format is:
285 Blake-Wilson, et. al. Standards Track [Page 5]
287 Internet-Draft TLS Extensions November 2004
290 ProtocolVersion server_version;
292 SessionID session_id;
293 CipherSuite cipher_suite;
294 CompressionMethod compression_method;
295 Extension server_hello_extension_list<0..2^16-1>;
298 Here the new "server_hello_extension_list" field contains a list of
299 extensions. The actual "Extension" format is defined in Section 2.3.
301 Note that the extended server hello message is only sent in response
302 to an extended client hello message. This prevents the possibility
303 that the extended server hello message could "break" existing TLS 1.0
306 2.3. Hello Extensions
308 The extension format for extended client hellos and extended server
312 ExtensionType extension_type;
313 opaque extension_data<0..2^16-1>;
318 - "extension_type" identifies the particular extension type.
320 - "extension_data" contains information specific to the particular
323 The extension types defined in this document are:
326 server_name(0), max_fragment_length(1),
327 client_certificate_url(2), trusted_ca_keys(3),
328 truncated_hmac(4), status_request(5), (65535)
331 The list of defined extension types is maintained by the IANA. The
332 current list can be found at XXX (suggest
333 http://www.iana.org/assignments/tls-extensions). See sections 5 and
334 8 for more information on how new values are added.
336 Note that for all extension types (including those defined in
337 future), the extension type MUST NOT appear in the extended server
338 hello unless the same extension type appeared in the corresponding
339 client hello. Thus clients MUST abort the handshake if they receive
340 an extension type in the extended server hello that they did not
341 request in the associated (extended) client hello.
343 Blake-Wilson, et. al. Standards Track [Page 6]
345 Internet-Draft TLS Extensions November 2004
347 Nonetheless "server initiated" extensions may be provided in the
348 future within this framework by requiring the client to first send an
349 empty extension to indicate that it supports a particular extension.
351 Also note that when multiple extensions of different types are
352 present in the extended client hello or the extended server hello,
353 the extensions may appear in any order. There MUST NOT be more than
354 one extension of the same type.
356 Finally note that an extended client hello may be sent both when
357 starting a new session and when requesting session resumption.
358 Indeed a client that requests resumption of a session does not in
359 general know whether the server will accept this request, and
360 therefore it SHOULD send an extended client hello if it would normally
361 do so for a new session. In general the specification of each
362 extension type must include a discussion of the effect of the
363 extension both during new sessions and during resumed sessions.
365 2.4. Extensions to the handshake protocol
367 This document suggests the use of two new handshake messages,
368 "CertificateURL" and "CertificateStatus". These messages are
369 described in Section 3.3 and Section 3.6, respectively. The new
370 handshake message structure therefore becomes:
373 hello_request(0), client_hello(1), server_hello(2),
374 certificate(11), server_key_exchange (12),
375 certificate_request(13), server_hello_done(14),
376 certificate_verify(15), client_key_exchange(16),
377 finished(20), certificate_url(21), certificate_status(22),
394 Blake-Wilson, et. al. Standards Track [Page 7]
396 Internet-Draft TLS Extensions November 2004
399 HandshakeType msg_type; /* handshake type */
400 uint24 length; /* bytes in message */
401 select (HandshakeType) {
402 case hello_request: HelloRequest;
403 case client_hello: ClientHello;
404 case server_hello: ServerHello;
405 case certificate: Certificate;
406 case server_key_exchange: ServerKeyExchange;
407 case certificate_request: CertificateRequest;
408 case server_hello_done: ServerHelloDone;
409 case certificate_verify: CertificateVerify;
410 case client_key_exchange: ClientKeyExchange;
411 case finished: Finished;
412 case certificate_url: CertificateURL;
413 case certificate_status: CertificateStatus;
417 3. Specific Extensions
419 This section describes the specific TLS extensions specified in this
422 Note that any messages associated with these extensions that are sent
423 during the TLS handshake MUST be included in the hash calculations
424 involved in "Finished" messages.
426 Note also that all the extensions defined in this Section are
427 relevant only when a session is initiated. When a client includes
428 one or more of the defined extension types in an extended client hello
429 while requesting session resumption:
431 - If the resumption request is denied, the use of the extensions
432 is negotiated as normal.
434 - If, on the other hand, the older session is resumed, then the server
435 MUST ignore the extensions and send a server hello containing none
436 of the extension types; in this case the functionality of these
437 extensions negotiated during the original session initiation is applied
438 to the resumed session.
440 Section 3.1 describes the extension of TLS to allow a client to
441 indicate which server it is contacting. Section 3.2 describes the
442 extension to provide maximum fragment length negotiation. Section
443 3.3 describes the extension to allow client certificate URLs.
444 Section 3.4 describes the extension to allow a client to indicate
445 which CA root keys it possesses. Section 3.5 describes the extension
446 to allow the use of truncated HMAC. Section 3.6 describes the
447 extension to support integration of certificate status information
448 messages into TLS handshakes.
450 Blake-Wilson, et. al. Standards Track [Page 8]
452 Internet-Draft TLS Extensions November 2004
454 3.1. Server Name Indication
456 [TLS] does not provide a mechanism for a client to tell a server the
457 name of the server it is contacting. It may be desirable for clients
458 to provide this information to facilitate secure connections to
459 servers that host multiple 'virtual' servers at a single underlying
462 In order to provide the server name, clients MAY include an extension
463 of type "server_name" in the (extended) client hello. The
464 "extension_data" field of this extension SHALL contain
465 "ServerNameList" where:
470 case host_name: HostName;
478 opaque HostName<1..2^16-1>;
481 ServerName server_name_list<1..2^16-1>
484 Currently the only server names supported are DNS hostnames, however
485 this does not imply any dependency of TLS on DNS, and other name
486 types may be added in the future (by an RFC that Updates this
487 document). TLS MAY treat provided server names as opaque data and
488 pass the names and types to the application.
490 "HostName" contains the fully qualified DNS hostname of the server,
491 as understood by the client. The hostname is represented as a byte
492 string using UTF-8 encoding [UTF8], without a trailing dot.
494 If the hostname labels contain only US-ASCII characters, then the
495 client MUST ensure that labels are separated only by the byte 0x2E,
496 representing the dot character U+002E (requirement 1 in section 3.1
497 of [IDNA] notwithstanding). If the server needs to match the HostName
498 against names that contain non-US-ASCII characters, it MUST perform
499 the conversion operation described in section 4 of [IDNA], treating
500 the HostName as a "query string" (i.e. the AllowUnassigned flag MUST
501 be set). Note that IDNA allows labels to be separated by any of the
502 Unicode characters U+002E, U+3002, U+FF0E, and U+FF61, therefore
503 servers MUST accept any of these characters as a label separator. If
505 Blake-Wilson, et. al. Standards Track [Page 9]
507 Internet-Draft TLS Extensions November 2004
509 the server only needs to match the HostName against names containing
510 exclusively ASCII characters, it MUST compare ASCII names case-
513 Literal IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are not permitted in "HostName".
515 It is RECOMMENDED that clients include an extension of type
516 "server_name" in the client hello whenever they locate a server by a
519 A server that receives a client hello containing the "server_name"
520 extension, MAY use the information contained in the extension to
521 guide its selection of an appropriate certificate to return to the
522 client, and/or other aspects of security policy. In this event, the
523 server SHALL include an extension of type "server_name" in the
524 (extended) server hello. The "extension_data" field of this
525 extension SHALL be empty.
527 If the server understood the client hello extension but does not
528 recognize the server name, it SHOULD send an "unrecognized_name"
529 alert (which MAY be fatal).
531 If an application negotiates a server name using an application
532 protocol, then upgrades to TLS, and a server_name extension is sent,
533 then the extension SHOULD contain the same name that was negotiated
534 in the application protocol. If the server_name is established in
535 the TLS session handshake, the client SHOULD NOT attempt to request a
536 different server name at the application layer.
538 3.2. Maximum Fragment Length Negotiation
540 [TLS] specifies a fixed maximum plaintext fragment length of 2^14
541 bytes. It may be desirable for constrained clients to negotiate a
542 smaller maximum fragment length due to memory limitations or
543 bandwidth limitations.
545 In order to negotiate smaller maximum fragment lengths, clients MAY
546 include an extension of type "max_fragment_length" in the (extended)
547 client hello. The "extension_data" field of this extension SHALL
551 2^9(1), 2^10(2), 2^11(3), 2^12(4), (255)
554 whose value is the desired maximum fragment length. The allowed
555 values for this field are: 2^9, 2^10, 2^11, and 2^12.
558 Blake-Wilson, et. al. Standards Track [Page 10]
560 Internet-Draft TLS Extensions November 2004
562 Servers that receive an extended client hello containing a
563 "max_fragment_length" extension, MAY accept the requested maximum
564 fragment length by including an extension of type
565 "max_fragment_length" in the (extended) server hello. The
566 "extension_data" field of this extension SHALL contain
567 "MaxFragmentLength" whose value is the same as the requested maximum
570 If a server receives a maximum fragment length negotiation request
571 for a value other than the allowed values, it MUST abort the
572 handshake with an "illegal_parameter" alert. Similarly, if a client
573 receives a maximum fragment length negotiation response that differs
574 from the length it requested, it MUST also abort the handshake with
575 an "illegal_parameter" alert.
577 Once a maximum fragment length other than 2^14 has been successfully
578 negotiated, the client and server MUST immediately begin fragmenting
579 messages (including handshake messages), to ensure that no fragment
580 larger than the negotiated length is sent. Note that TLS already
581 requires clients and servers to support fragmentation of handshake
584 The negotiated length applies for the duration of the session
585 including session resumptions.
587 The negotiated length limits the input that the record layer may
588 process without fragmentation (that is, the maximum value of
589 TLSPlaintext.length; see [TLS] section 6.2.1). Note that the output
590 of the record layer may be larger. For example, if the negotiated
591 length is 2^9=512, then for currently defined cipher suites (those
592 defined in [TLS], [KERB], and [AESSUITES]), and when null compression
593 is used, the record layer output can be at most 793 bytes: 5 bytes of
594 headers, 512 bytes of application data, 256 bytes of padding, and 20
595 bytes of MAC. That means that in this event a TLS record layer peer
596 receiving a TLS record layer message larger than 793 bytes may
597 discard the message and send a "record_overflow" alert, without
598 decrypting the message.
600 3.3. Client Certificate URLs
602 [TLS] specifies that when client authentication is performed, client
603 certificates are sent by clients to servers during the TLS handshake.
604 It may be desirable for constrained clients to send certificate URLs
605 in place of certificates, so that they do not need to store their
606 certificates and can therefore save memory.
613 Blake-Wilson, et. al. Standards Track [Page 11]
615 Internet-Draft TLS Extensions November 2004
617 In order to negotiate to send certificate URLs to a server, clients
618 MAY include an extension of type "client_certificate_url" in the
619 (extended) client hello. The "extension_data" field of this
620 extension SHALL be empty.
622 (Note that it is necessary to negotiate use of client certificate
623 URLs in order to avoid "breaking" existing TLS 1.0 servers.)
625 Servers that receive an extended client hello containing a
626 "client_certificate_url" extension, MAY indicate that they are
627 willing to accept certificate URLs by including an extension of type
628 "client_certificate_url" in the (extended) server hello. The
629 "extension_data" field of this extension SHALL be empty.
631 After negotiation of the use of client certificate URLs has been
632 successfully completed (by exchanging hellos including
633 "client_certificate_url" extensions), clients MAY send a
634 "CertificateURL" message in place of a "Certificate" message:
637 individual_certs(0), pkipath(1), (255)
646 URLAndOptionalHash url_and_hash_list<1..2^16-1>;
650 opaque url<1..2^16-1>;
651 Boolean hash_present;
652 select (hash_present) {
653 case false: struct {};
656 } URLAndOptionalHash;
660 Here "url_and_hash_list" contains a sequence of URLs and optional
668 Blake-Wilson, et. al. Standards Track [Page 12]
670 Internet-Draft TLS Extensions November 2004
672 When X.509 certificates are used, there are two possibilities:
674 - if CertificateURL.type is "individual_certs", each URL refers to a
675 single DER-encoded X.509v3 certificate, with the URL for the
676 client's certificate first, or
678 - if CertificateURL.type is "pkipath", the list contains a single
679 URL referring to a DER-encoded certificate chain, using the type
680 PkiPath described in Section 8.
682 When any other certificate format is used, the specification that
683 describes use of that format in TLS should define the encoding format
684 of certificates or certificate chains, and any constraint on their
687 The hash corresponding to each URL at the client's discretion is
688 either not present or is the SHA-1 hash of the certificate or
689 certificate chain (in the case of X.509 certificates, the DER-encoded
690 certificate or the DER-encoded PkiPath).
692 Note that when a list of URLs for X.509 certificates is used, the
693 ordering of URLs is the same as that used in the TLS Certificate
694 message (see [TLS] Section 7.4.2), but opposite to the order in which
695 certificates are encoded in PkiPath. In either case, the self-signed
696 root certificate MAY be omitted from the chain, under the assumption
697 that the server must already possess it in order to validate it.
699 Servers receiving "CertificateURL" SHALL attempt to retrieve the
700 client's certificate chain from the URLs, and then process the
701 certificate chain as usual. A cached copy of the content of any URL
702 in the chain MAY be used, provided that a SHA-1 hash is present for
703 that URL and it matches the hash of the cached copy.
705 Servers that support this extension MUST support the http: URL scheme
706 for certificate URLs, and MAY support other schemes.
708 If the protocol used to retrieve certificates or certificate chains
709 returns a MIME formatted response (as HTTP does), then the following
710 MIME Content-Types SHALL be used: when a single X.509v3 certificate
711 is returned, the Content-Type is "application/pkix-cert" [PKIOP], and
712 when a chain of X.509v3 certificates is returned, the Content-Type is
713 "application/pkix-pkipath" (see Section 8).
723 Blake-Wilson, et. al. Standards Track [Page 13]
725 Internet-Draft TLS Extensions November 2004
727 If a SHA-1 hash is present for an URL, then the server MUST check
728 that the SHA-1 hash of the contents of the object retrieved from that
729 URL (after decoding any MIME Content-Transfer-Encoding) matches the
730 given hash. If any retrieved object does not have the correct SHA-1
731 hash, the server MUST abort the handshake with a
732 "bad_certificate_hash_value" alert.
734 Note that clients may choose to send either "Certificate" or
735 "CertificateURL" after successfully negotiating the option to send
736 certificate URLs. The option to send a certificate is included to
737 provide flexibility to clients possessing multiple certificates.
739 If a server encounters an unreasonable delay in obtaining
740 certificates in a given CertificateURL, it SHOULD time out and signal
741 a "certificate_unobtainable" error alert.
743 3.4. Trusted CA Indication
745 Constrained clients that, due to memory limitations, possess only a
746 small number of CA root keys, may wish to indicate to servers which
747 root keys they possess, in order to avoid repeated handshake
750 In order to indicate which CA root keys they possess, clients MAY
751 include an extension of type "trusted_ca_keys" in the (extended)
752 client hello. The "extension_data" field of this extension SHALL
753 contain "TrustedAuthorities" where:
756 TrustedAuthority trusted_authorities_list<0..2^16-1>;
757 } TrustedAuthorities;
760 IdentifierType identifier_type;
761 select (identifier_type) {
762 case pre_agreed: struct {};
763 case key_sha1_hash: SHA1Hash;
764 case x509_name: DistinguishedName;
765 case cert_sha1_hash: SHA1Hash;
770 pre_agreed(0), key_sha1_hash(1), x509_name(2),
771 cert_sha1_hash(3), (255)
774 opaque DistinguishedName<1..2^16-1>;
778 Blake-Wilson, et. al. Standards Track [Page 14]
780 Internet-Draft TLS Extensions November 2004
782 Here "TrustedAuthorities" provides a list of CA root key identifiers
783 that the client possesses. Each CA root key is identified via
786 - "pre_agreed" - no CA root key identity supplied.
788 - "key_sha1_hash" - contains the SHA-1 hash of the CA root key. For
789 DSA and ECDSA keys, this is the hash of the "subjectPublicKey"
790 value. For RSA keys, the hash is of the big-endian byte string
791 representation of the modulus without any initial 0-valued bytes.
792 (This copies the key hash formats deployed in other environments.)
794 - "x509_name" - contains the DER-encoded X.509 DistinguishedName of
797 - "cert_sha1_hash" - contains the SHA-1 hash of a DER-encoded
798 Certificate containing the CA root key.
800 Note that clients may include none, some, or all of the CA root keys
801 they possess in this extension.
803 Note also that it is possible that a key hash or a Distinguished Name
804 alone may not uniquely identify a certificate issuer - for example if
805 a particular CA has multiple key pairs - however here we assume this
806 is the case following the use of Distinguished Names to identify
807 certificate issuers in TLS.
809 The option to include no CA root keys is included to allow the client
810 to indicate possession of some pre-defined set of CA root keys.
812 Servers that receive a client hello containing the "trusted_ca_keys"
813 extension, MAY use the information contained in the extension to
814 guide their selection of an appropriate certificate chain to return
815 to the client. In this event, the server SHALL include an extension
816 of type "trusted_ca_keys" in the (extended) server hello. The
817 "extension_data" field of this extension SHALL be empty.
821 Currently defined TLS cipher suites use the MAC construction HMAC
822 with either MD5 or SHA-1 [HMAC] to authenticate record layer
823 communications. In TLS the entire output of the hash function is
824 used as the MAC tag. However it may be desirable in constrained
825 environments to save bandwidth by truncating the output of the hash
826 function to 80 bits when forming MAC tags.
833 Blake-Wilson, et. al. Standards Track [Page 15]
835 Internet-Draft TLS Extensions November 2004
837 In order to negotiate the use of 80-bit truncated HMAC, clients MAY
838 include an extension of type "truncated_hmac" in the extended client
839 hello. The "extension_data" field of this extension SHALL be empty.
841 Servers that receive an extended hello containing a "truncated_hmac"
842 extension, MAY agree to use a truncated HMAC by including an
843 extension of type "truncated_hmac", with empty "extension_data", in
844 the extended server hello.
846 Note that if new cipher suites are added that do not use HMAC, and
847 the session negotiates one of these cipher suites, this extension
848 will have no effect. It is strongly recommended that any new cipher
849 suites using other MACs consider the MAC size as an integral part of
850 the cipher suite definition, taking into account both security and
851 bandwidth considerations.
853 If HMAC truncation has been successfully negotiated during a TLS
854 handshake, and the negotiated cipher suite uses HMAC, both the client
855 and the server pass this fact to the TLS record layer along with the
856 other negotiated security parameters. Subsequently during the
857 session, clients and servers MUST use truncated HMACs, calculated as
858 specified in [HMAC]. That is, CipherSpec.hash_size is 10 bytes, and
859 only the first 10 bytes of the HMAC output are transmitted and
860 checked. Note that this extension does not affect the calculation of
861 the PRF as part of handshaking or key derivation.
863 The negotiated HMAC truncation size applies for the duration of the
864 session including session resumptions.
866 3.6. Certificate Status Request
868 Constrained clients may wish to use a certificate-status protocol
869 such as OCSP [OCSP] to check the validity of server certificates, in
870 order to avoid transmission of CRLs and therefore save bandwidth on
871 constrained networks. This extension allows for such information to
872 be sent in the TLS handshake, saving roundtrips and resources.
874 In order to indicate their desire to receive certificate status
875 information, clients MAY include an extension of type
876 "status_request" in the (extended) client hello. The
877 "extension_data" field of this extension SHALL contain
878 "CertificateStatusRequest" where:
888 Blake-Wilson, et. al. Standards Track [Page 16]
890 Internet-Draft TLS Extensions November 2004
893 CertificateStatusType status_type;
894 select (status_type) {
895 case ocsp: OCSPStatusRequest;
897 } CertificateStatusRequest;
899 enum { ocsp(1), (255) } CertificateStatusType;
902 ResponderID responder_id_list<0..2^16-1>;
903 Extensions request_extensions;
906 opaque ResponderID<1..2^16-1>;
907 opaque Extensions<0..2^16-1>;
909 In the OCSPStatusRequest, the "ResponderIDs" provides a list of OCSP
910 responders that the client trusts. A zero-length "responder_id_list"
911 sequence has the special meaning that the responders are implicitly
912 known to the server - e.g., by prior arrangement. "Extensions" is a
913 DER encoding of OCSP request extensions.
915 Both "ResponderID" and "Extensions" are DER-encoded ASN.1 types as
916 defined in [OCSP]. "Extensions" is imported from [PKIX]. A zero-
917 length "request_extensions" value means that there are no extensions
918 (as opposed to a zero-length ASN.1 SEQUENCE, which is not valid for
919 the "Extensions" type).
921 In the case of the "id-pkix-ocsp-nonce" OCSP extension, [OCSP] is
922 unclear about its encoding; for clarification, the nonce MUST be a
923 DER-encoded OCTET STRING, which is encapsulated as another OCTET
924 STRING (note that implementations based on an existing OCSP client
925 will need to be checked for conformance to this requirement).
927 Servers that receive a client hello containing the "status_request"
928 extension, MAY return a suitable certificate status response to the
929 client along with their certificate. If OCSP is requested, they
930 SHOULD use the information contained in the extension when selecting
931 an OCSP responder, and SHOULD include request_extensions in the OCSP
934 Servers return a certificate response along with their certificate by
935 sending a "CertificateStatus" message immediately after the
936 "Certificate" message (and before any "ServerKeyExchange" or
937 "CertificateRequest" messages). If a server returns a
943 Blake-Wilson, et. al. Standards Track [Page 17]
945 Internet-Draft TLS Extensions November 2004
947 "CertificateStatus" message, then the server MUST have included an
948 extension of type "status_request" with empty "extension_data" in the
949 extended server hello.
952 CertificateStatusType status_type;
953 select (status_type) {
954 case ocsp: OCSPResponse;
958 opaque OCSPResponse<1..2^24-1>;
960 An "ocsp_response" contains a complete, DER-encoded OCSP response
961 (using the ASN.1 type OCSPResponse defined in [OCSP]). Note that
962 only one OCSP response may be sent.
964 The "CertificateStatus" message is conveyed using the handshake
965 message type "certificate_status".
967 Note that a server MAY also choose not to send a "CertificateStatus"
968 message, even if it receives a "status_request" extension in the
969 client hello message.
971 Note in addition that servers MUST NOT send the "CertificateStatus"
972 message unless it received a "status_request" extension in the client
975 Clients requesting an OCSP response, and receiving an OCSP response
976 in a "CertificateStatus" message MUST check the OCSP response and
977 abort the handshake if the response is not satisfactory.
981 This section defines new error alerts for use with the TLS extensions
982 defined in this document.
984 The following new error alerts are defined. To avoid "breaking"
985 existing clients and servers, these alerts MUST NOT be sent unless
986 the sending party has received an extended hello message from the
987 party they are communicating with.
989 - "unsupported_extension" - this alert is sent by clients that
990 receive an extended server hello containing an extension that they
991 did not put in the corresponding client hello (see Section 2.3).
992 This message is always fatal.
998 Blake-Wilson, et. al. Standards Track [Page 18]
1000 Internet-Draft TLS Extensions November 2004
1002 - "unrecognized_name" - this alert is sent by servers that receive a
1003 server_name extension request, but do not recognize the server
1004 name. This message MAY be fatal.
1006 - "certificate_unobtainable" - this alert is sent by servers who are
1007 unable to retrieve a certificate chain from the URL supplied by
1008 the client (see Section 3.3). This message MAY be fatal - for
1009 example if client authentication is required by the server for the
1010 handshake to continue and the server is unable to retrieve the
1011 certificate chain, it may send a fatal alert.
1013 - "bad_certificate_status_response" - this alert is sent by clients
1014 that receive an invalid certificate status response (see Section
1015 3.6). This message is always fatal.
1017 - "bad_certificate_hash_value" - this alert is sent by servers when
1018 a certificate hash does not match a client provided
1019 certificate_hash. This message is always fatal.
1021 These error alerts are conveyed using the following syntax:
1025 unexpected_message(10),
1027 decryption_failed(21),
1028 record_overflow(22),
1029 decompression_failure(30),
1030 handshake_failure(40),

1063 5. Procedure for Defining New Extensions
1065 The list of extension types, as defined in Section 2.3, is
1066 maintained by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). Thus
1067 an application needs to be made to the IANA in order to obtain a new
1068 extension type value. Since there are subtle (and not so subtle)
1069 interactions that may occur in this protocol between new features and
1070 existing features which may result in a significant reduction in
1071 overall security, new values SHALL be defined only through the IETF
1072 Consensus process specified in [IANA].
1074 (This means that new assignments can be made only via RFCs approved
1077 The following considerations should be taken into account when
1078 designing new extensions:
1080 - All of the extensions defined in this document follow the
1081 convention that for each extension that a client requests and that
1082 the server understands, the server replies with an extension of
1085 - Some cases where a server does not agree to an extension are error
1086 conditions, and some simply a refusal to support a particular
1087 feature. In general error alerts should be used for the former,
1088 and a field in the server extension response for the latter.
1090 - Extensions should as far as possible be designed to prevent any
1091 attack that forces use (or non-use) of a particular feature by
1092 manipulation of handshake messages. This principle should be
1093 followed regardless of whether the feature is believed to cause a
1096 Often the fact that the extension fields are included in the
1097 inputs to the Finished message hashes will be sufficient, but
1098 extreme care is needed when the extension changes the meaning of
1099 messages sent in the handshake phase. Designers and implementors
1100 should be aware of the fact that until the handshake has been
1101 authenticated, active attackers can modify messages and insert,
1102 remove, or replace extensions.
1106 Blake-Wilson, et. al. Standards Track [Page 20]
1108 Internet-Draft TLS Extensions November 2004
1110 - It would be technically possible to use extensions to change major
1111 aspects of the design of TLS; for example the design of cipher
1112 suite negotiation. This is not recommended; it would be more
1113 appropriate to define a new version of TLS - particularly since
1114 the TLS handshake algorithms have specific protection against
1115 version rollback attacks based on the version number, and the
1116 possibility of version rollback should be a significant
1117 consideration in any major design change.
1119 6. Security Considerations
1121 Security considerations for the extension mechanism in general, and
1122 the design of new extensions, are described in the previous section.
1123 A security analysis of each of the extensions defined in this
1124 document is given below.
1126 In general, implementers should continue to monitor the state of the
1127 art, and address any weaknesses identified.
1129 Additional security considerations are described in the TLS 1.0 RFC
1132 6.1. Security of server_name
1134 If a single server hosts several domains, then clearly it is
1135 necessary for the owners of each domain to ensure that this satisfies
1136 their security needs. Apart from this, server_name does not appear
1137 to introduce significant security issues.
1139 Implementations MUST ensure that a buffer overflow does not occur
1140 whatever the values of the length fields in server_name.
1142 Although this document specifies an encoding for internationalized
1143 hostnames in the server_name extension, it does not address any
1144 security issues associated with the use of internationalized
1145 hostnames in TLS - in particular, the consequences of "spoofed" names
1146 that are indistinguishable from another name when displayed or
1147 printed. It is recommended that server certificates not be issued
1148 for internationalized hostnames unless procedures are in place to
1149 mitigate the risk of spoofed hostnames.
1151 6.2. Security of max_fragment_length
1153 The maximum fragment length takes effect immediately, including for
1154 handshake messages. However, that does not introduce any security
1155 complications that are not already present in TLS, since [TLS]
1156 requires implementations to be able to handle fragmented handshake
1161 Blake-Wilson, et. al. Standards Track [Page 21]
1163 Internet-Draft TLS Extensions November 2004
1165 Note that as described in section 3.2, once a non-null cipher suite
1166 has been activated, the effective maximum fragment length depends on
1167 the cipher suite and compression method, as well as on the negotiated
1168 max_fragment_length. This must be taken into account when sizing
1169 buffers, and checking for buffer overflow.
1171 6.3. Security of client_certificate_url
1173 There are two major issues with this extension.
1175 The first major issue is whether or not clients should include
1176 certificate hashes when they send certificate URLs.
1178 When client authentication is used *without* the
1179 client_certificate_url extension, the client certificate chain is
1180 covered by the Finished message hashes. The purpose of including
1181 hashes and checking them against the retrieved certificate chain, is
1182 to ensure that the same property holds when this extension is used -
1183 i.e., that all of the information in the certificate chain retrieved
1184 by the server is as the client intended.
1186 On the other hand, omitting certificate hashes enables functionality
1187 that is desirable in some circumstances - for example clients can be
1188 issued daily certificates that are stored at a fixed URL and need not
1189 be provided to the client. Clients that choose to omit certificate
1190 hashes should be aware of the possibility of an attack in which the
1191 attacker obtains a valid certificate on the client's key that is
1192 different from the certificate the client intended to provide.
1193 Although TLS uses both MD5 and SHA-1 hashes in several other places,
1194 this was not believed to be necessary here. The property required of
1195 SHA-1 is second pre-image resistance.
1197 The second major issue is that support for client_certificate_url
1198 involves the server acting as a client in another URL protocol. The
1199 server therefore becomes subject to many of the same security
1200 concerns that clients of the URL scheme are subject to, with the
1201 added concern that the client can attempt to prompt the server to
1202 connect to some, possibly weird-looking URL.
1204 In general this issue means that an attacker might use the server to
1205 indirectly attack another host that is vulnerable to some security
1206 flaw. It also introduces the possibility of denial of service
1207 attacks in which an attacker makes many connections to the server,
1208 each of which results in the server attempting a connection to the
1209 target of the attack.
1216 Blake-Wilson, et. al. Standards Track [Page 22]
1218 Internet-Draft TLS Extensions November 2004
1220 Note that the server may be behind a firewall or otherwise able to
1221 access hosts that would not be directly accessible from the public
1222 Internet; this could exacerbate the potential security and denial of
1223 service problems described above, as well as allowing the existence
1224 of internal hosts to be confirmed when they would otherwise be
1227 The detailed security concerns involved will depend on the URL
1228 schemes supported by the server. In the case of HTTP, the concerns
1229 are similar to those that apply to a publicly accessible HTTP proxy
1230 server. In the case of HTTPS, the possibility for loops and
1231 deadlocks to be created exists and should be addressed. In the case
1232 of FTP, attacks similar to FTP bounce attacks arise.
1234 As a result of this issue, it is RECOMMENDED that the
1235 client_certificate_url extension should have to be specifically
1236 enabled by a server administrator, rather than being enabled by
1237 default. It is also RECOMMENDED that URI protocols be enabled by the
1238 administrator individually, and only a minimal set of protocols be
1239 enabled, with unusual protocols offering limited security or whose
1240 security is not well-understood being avoided.
1242 As discussed in [URI], URLs that specify ports other than the default
1243 may cause problems, as may very long URLs (which are more likely to
1244 be useful in exploiting buffer overflow bugs).
1246 Also note that HTTP caching proxies are common on the Internet, and
1247 some proxies do not check for the latest version of an object
1248 correctly. If a request using HTTP (or another caching protocol)
1249 goes through a misconfigured or otherwise broken proxy, the proxy may
1250 return an out-of-date response.
1252 6.4. Security of trusted_ca_keys
1254 It is possible that which CA root keys a client possesses could be
1255 regarded as confidential information. As a result, the CA root key
1256 indication extension should be used with care.
1258 The use of the SHA-1 certificate hash alternative ensures that each
1259 certificate is specified unambiguously. As for the previous
1260 extension, it was not believed necessary to use both MD5 and SHA-1
1263 6.5. Security of truncated_hmac
1265 It is possible that truncated MACs are weaker than "un-truncated"
1266 MACs. However, no significant weaknesses are currently known or
1267 expected to exist for HMAC with MD5 or SHA-1, truncated to 80 bits.
1271 Blake-Wilson, et. al. Standards Track [Page 23]
1273 Internet-Draft TLS Extensions November 2004
1275 Note that the output length of a MAC need not be as long as the
1276 length of a symmetric cipher key, since forging of MAC values cannot
1277 be done off-line: in TLS, a single failed MAC guess will cause the
1278 immediate termination of the TLS session.
1280 Since the MAC algorithm only takes effect after the handshake
1281 messages have been authenticated by the hashes in the Finished
1282 messages, it is not possible for an active attacker to force
1283 negotiation of the truncated HMAC extension where it would not
1284 otherwise be used (to the extent that the handshake authentication is
1285 secure). Therefore, in the event that any security problem were
1286 found with truncated HMAC in future, if either the client or the
1287 server for a given session were updated to take into account the
1288 problem, they would be able to veto use of this extension.
1290 6.6. Security of status_request
1292 If a client requests an OCSP response, it must take into account that
1293 an attacker's server using a compromised key could (and probably
1294 would) pretend not to support the extension. A client that requires
1295 OCSP validation of certificates SHOULD either contact the OCSP server
1296 directly in this case, or abort the handshake.
1298 Use of the OCSP nonce request extension (id-pkix-ocsp-nonce) may
1299 improve security against attacks that attempt to replay OCSP
1300 responses; see section 4.4.1 of [OCSP] for further details.
1302 7. Internationalization Considerations
1304 None of the extensions defined here directly use strings subject to
1305 localization. Domain Name System (DNS) hostnames are encoded using
1306 UTF-8. If future extensions use text strings, then
1307 internationalization should be considered in their design.
1309 8. IANA Considerations
1311 Sections 2.3 and 5 describes a registry of ExtensionType values to be
1312 maintained by the IANA. ExtensionType values are to be assigned via
1313 IETF Consensus as defined in RFC 2434 [IANA].
1315 The MIME type "application/pkix-pkipath" has been registered by the
1316 IANA with the following template:
1318 To: ietf-types@iana.org Subject: Registration of MIME media type
1319 application/pkix-pkipath
1321 MIME media type name: application
1323 MIME subtype name: pkix-pkipath
1325 Required parameters: none
1327 Blake-Wilson, et. al. Standards Track [Page 24]
1329 Internet-Draft TLS Extensions November 2004
1331 Optional parameters: version (default value is "1")
1333 Encoding considerations:
1334 This MIME type is a DER encoding of the ASN.1 type PkiPath,
1336 PkiPath ::= SEQUENCE OF Certificate
1337 PkiPath is used to represent a certification path. Within the
1338 sequence, the order of certificates is such that the subject of
1339 the first certificate is the issuer of the second certificate,
1342 This is identical to the definition published in [X509-4th-TC1];
1343 note that it is different from that in [X509-4th].
1345 All Certificates MUST conform to [PKIX]. (This should be
1346 interpreted as a requirement to encode only PKIX-conformant
1347 certificates using this type. It does not necessarily require
1348 that all certificates that are not strictly PKIX-conformant must
1349 be rejected by relying parties, although the security consequences
1350 of accepting any such certificates should be considered
1353 DER (as opposed to BER) encoding MUST be used. If this type is
1354 sent over a 7-bit transport, base64 encoding SHOULD be used.
1356 Security considerations:
1357 The security considerations of [X509-4th] and [PKIX] (or any
1358 updates to them) apply, as well as those of any protocol that uses
1359 this type (e.g., TLS).
1361 Note that this type only specifies a certificate chain that can be
1362 assessed for validity according to the relying party's existing
1363 configuration of trusted CAs; it is not intended to be used to
1364 specify any change to that configuration.
1366 Interoperability considerations:
1367 No specific interoperability problems are known with this type,
1368 but for recommendations relating to X.509 certificates in general,
1371 Published specification: this memo, and [PKIX].
1373 Applications which use this media type: TLS. It may also be used by
1374 other protocols, or for general interchange of PKIX certificate

1404 intellectual property or other rights that might be claimed to
1405 pertain to the implementation or use of the technology described in
1406 this document or the extent to which any license under such rights
1407 might or might not be available; neither does it represent that it
1408 has made any effort to identify any such rights. Information on the
1409 IETF's procedures with respect to rights in standards-track and
1410 standards-related documentation can be found in RFC 2028. Copies of
1411 claims of rights made available for publication and any assurances of
1412 licenses to be made available, or the result of an attempt made to
1413 obtain a general license or permission for the use of such
1414 proprietary rights by implementors or users of this specification can
1415 be obtained from the IETF Secretariat.
1417 The IETF invites any interested party to bring to its attention any
1418 copyrights, patents or patent applications, or other proprietary
1419 rights which may cover technology that may be required to practice
1420 this document. Please address the information to the IETF Executive
1425 The authors wish to thank the TLS Working Group and the WAP Security
1426 Group. This document is based on discussion within these groups.
