Stanford Seminar - The TLS 1.3 Protocol

Описание: "The TLS 1.3 Protocol" - Eric Rescorla of Mozilla and RTFM, Inc.

About the talk:
Transport Layer Security (TLS) is used for securing everything from Web transactions (HTTPS) to voice and video calls (DTLS-SRTP). However, the basic design of TLS dates back to the mid 1990s and the protocol is starting to show its age: TLS contains a number of features which no longer seem desirable and recent analytic work has discovered a number of protocol vulnerabilities (Triple Handshake, Logjam, etc.). In addition, as cryptographic algorithms have gotten faster, handshake latency has become a higher priority and TLS's current handshake does not reflect the state of the art.

In order to address these issues, the IETF TLS Working Group is currently developing a major revision of TLS, dubbed "TLS 1.3". TLS 1.3 has five major objectives:

Clean up: Remove unused or unsafe features
Security: Improve security by using modern security analysis techniques
Privacy: Encrypt more of the protocol
Performance: Our target is a 1-RTT handshake for naive clients; 0-RTT handshake for repeat connections
Continuity: Maintain existing important use cases
In this talk, we will cover the TLS 1.3 protocol itself, its design process, and current status.

About the speaker:
Eric Rescorla works at Mozilla, where he focuses on networking, security, voice, and video. He is presently the document editor for TLS 1.3 and is working on the TLS 1.3 implementation for Firefox.
