+RFC-5705 February 2015
+
+
+ Added support for TLS Keying Material Exporters
+
+Keying Material Exporter [RFC-5705] allow additional keying material to be
+derived from existing TLS channel. This exported keying material can then be
+used for a variety of purposes. TLS allows client and server to establish
+keying material for use in the upper layers between the TLS end-points and
+channel bindings is straightforward and well-defined mechanism how to
+authenticate other layers.
+
+
+OpenVPN Configuration
+
+--keying-material-exporter label len
+
+Export Keying Material [RFC-5705] of len bytes (min. 16 bytes) using label in
+environment (exported_keying_material) for use by plugins in
+OPENVPN_PLUGIN_TLS_FINAL callback.
+
+Note that exporter labels have the potential to collide with existing PRF
+labels. In order to prevent this, labels MUST begin with "EXPORTER".
+(This option requires OpenSSL 1.0.1 or newer.)

+Terminology
+
+ AAA Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting:
+ functions that are generally required to control
+ access to a service and support auditing.
+
+ Secure channel a packet, datagram, octet stream connection, or
+ sequence of connections between two end-points that
+ affords cryptographic integrity and confidentiality
+ to data exchanged over it.
+
+ Channel binding the process of establishing that no man-in-the-middle
+ exists between two end-points that have been
+ authenticated using secure channel.
+
+ TLS Binding Key Exported Keying Material [RFC5705]
+
+ If no context is provided, it then computes:
+ PRF(SecurityParameters.master_secret, label,
+ SecurityParameters.client_random +
+ SecurityParameters.server_random
+ )[length]
+
+ If context is provided, it computes:
+ PRF(SecurityParameters.master_secret, label,
+ SecurityParameters.client_random +
+ SecurityParameters.server_random +
+ context_value_length + context_value
+ )[length]
+
+ AAA Binding Key TLS side channel authentication based on secure
+ channel bindings requires one more key derivation.
