Thanks for the invitation.

In my eyes you should add some TLS extension into the context.
For a A/A+ grading I recommend the "extended master secret extension" as
defined in RFC5246 [1].
In TLS 1.2 the master secret isn't cryptographically bound to the
session parameters which enables man in the middle attacks on session
resumption.

Do you take the "encrypt-then-mac extension" [2] into account for
authenticated encryption for the A grade?

Another discussable extension is the "truncated_hmac extension" [3],
which reduces the hmac to 80 bits. I didn't found any related research
to hmac truncatoin and TLS.
Do you have any hints, that this one is insecure to use?

Have a nice evening,
Matthias
