+ identifier for the DEFLATE compression method:
- enum { null(0), ZLIB(1), (255) } CompressionMethod;
+ enum { null(0), DEFLATE(1), (255) } CompressionMethod;
As described in section 6 of RFC 2246 [2], TLS is a stateful
protocol. Compression methods used with TLS can be either stateful
- (the compressor maintains it's state through all compressed records)
+ (the compressor maintains its state through all compressed records)
or stateless (the compressor compresses each record independently),

compression method within TLS.
- The ZLIB compression method described in this document is stateful.

-2.1 Compression History and Packet Processing
-
- Some compression methods have the ability to maintain history
- information when compressing and decompressing packet payloads. The
- compression history allows a higher compression ratio to be achieved
- on a stream as compared to per-packet compression, but maintaining a
- history across packets implies that a packet might contain data
- needed to completely decompress data contained in a different packet.
- History maintenance thus requires both a reliable link and sequenced
- packet delivery. Since TLS and lower-layer protocols provide
- reliable, sequenced packet delivery, compression history information
- MAY be maintained and exploited if supported by the compression
- method.

identifiers to be maintained by the IANA, including assignment of an
- identifier for the ZLIB compression method. Identifier values from
- the range reserved for future standardization efforts of the TLS
- working group MUST be assigned according to the "Standards Action"
- policy described in RFC 2434 [3]. Values from the range reserved for
- private use MUST be used according to the "Private Use" policy
- described in RFC 2434. Values from the general IANA pool MUST be
- assigned according to the "IETF Consensus" policy described in RFC
- 2434.

+ Compression algorithms tend to be mathematically complex and prone to
+ implementation errors. An implementation error that can produce a
+ buffer overrun introduces a potential security risk for programming
+ languages and operating systems that do not provide buffer overrun
+ protections. Careful consideration should thus be given to
+ protections against implementation errors that introduce security
+ risks.
+
+ As described in Section 2, compression algorithms can occasionally
+ expand, rather than compress, input data. This feature introduces
+ the ability to construct rogue data that expands to some enormous
+ size when compressed or decompressed. RFC 2246 describes several
+ methods to ameliorate this kind of attack. First, compression has to
+ be lossless. Second, a limit (1,024 bytes) is placed on the amount of
+ allowable compression content length increase. Finally, a limit
+ (2^14 bytes) is placed on the total content length. See section
+ 6.2.2 of RFC 2246 [2] for complete details.

2. SRP Authentication in TLS

+
+ The version of SRP used here is sometimes referred to as "SRP-6"
+ [SRP-6]. This particular version is a slight improvement over
+ "SRP-3", which was described in [SRP] and [RFC2945].
+
+ This document uses the variable names defined in [SRP-6]:
+
+ N, g: group parameters (prime and generator)
+
+ s: salt
+
+ B, b: server's public and private values
+
+ A, a: client's public and private values
+
+ I: user name (aka "identity")
- The advent of SRP-6 [3] allows the SRP protocol to be implemented
- using the standard sequence of handshake messages defined in [1].
+ p: password
+
+ v: verifier
+
+ The | symbol indicates string concatenation, the ^ operator is the
+ exponentiation operation, and the % operator is the integer remainder
+ operation. Conversion between integers and byte-strings assumes the
+ most-significant bytes are stored first, as per [TLS] and [RFC2945].
+
+2.2 Modifications to the TLS Handshake Sequence
