Abstract Abstract
This document defines a channel binding type, tls-exporter, that is This document defines a channel binding type, tls-exporter, that is
compatible with TLS 1.3 in accordance with RFC 5056, On Channel compatible with TLS 1.3 in accordance with RFC 5056, On Channel
Binding. Furthermore it updates the "default" channel binding to the Binding. Furthermore it updates the "default" channel binding to the
new binding for versions of TLS greater than 1.2. This document new binding for versions of TLS greater than 1.2. This document
updates RFC5801, RFC5802, RFC5929, and RFC8446. updates RFC5801, RFC5802, RFC5929, and RFC8446.
