A Trust Management Architecture for TLS

The TLS protocol suite, which provides transport-layer security far the Internet, has been standardized in the IETF. A TLS session is an association between a client and a server, created by the TLS handshake Protocol. Sessions define a set of cryptographic securi쇼 parameters, which can be shared among multiple connections. The TLS protocol, however, does not address the specific method fur how to manage the existing TLS sessions on the host. This paper proposes an efficient management scheme TLS, based on the principles of trust management.
