Keying Material Exporters for Transport Layer Security
Overview
RFC 5705, “Keying Material Exporters for Transport Layer Security”, is a Proposed Standard document published in March 2010 by E. Rescorla. It has since been updated by RFC 8446, RFC 8447. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
A number of protocols wish to leverage Transport Layer Security (TLS) to perform key establishment but then use some of the keying material for their own purposes. This document describes a general mechanism for allowing that. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
