Status: Verified
Type: Technical

Reported by: Loïc Ferreira <[email protected]>
Date Reported: 2026-03-04
Verified by: Deb Cooley (IESG)

Section: E.1

Original Text
-------------
The PSK binder value forms a binding between a PSK and the current handshake, 
as 
well as between the session where the PSK was established and the current 
session. This binding transitively includes the original handshake transcript, 
because that transcript is digested into the values which produce the 
resumption 
master secret.

Corrected Text
--------------
The PSK binder value forms a binding between a PSK and the current handshake, 
as 
well as between the session where the PSK was established (if established via a 
NewSessionTicket message) and the current session. This binding transitively 
includes the original handshake transcript, because that transcript is digested 
into the values which produce the resumption master secret.

Notes
-----
The last sentence is not correct since it does not hold for an external PSK 
(computed independently from the resumption master secret).

NB: section 4.2.11.2 adds this precision: "The PSK binder value forms a binding 
between a PSK and the current handshake, as well as a binding between the 
handshake in which the PSK was generated (if via a NewSessionTicket message) 
and the current handshake."
