    <section anchor="security-considerations" title="Security Considerations"> numbered="true" toc="default">
      <name>Security Considerations</name>
      <t>After decompression, the Certificate message MUST <bcp14>MUST</bcp14> be processed as if it were
encoded without being compressed.  This way, the parsing and the verification
have the same security properties as they would have in TLS normally.</t>
      <t>In order for certificate compression to function correctly, the underlying
compression algorithm MUST <bcp14>MUST</bcp14> output the same data
that was provided as input by the peer.</t>
      <t>Since certificate chains are typically presented on a per-server name per-server-name or
per-user basis, a malicious application does not have control over any individual fragments
in the Certificate message, meaning that they cannot leak information about the
certificate by modifying the plaintext.</t>
      <t>Implementations SHOULD <bcp14>SHOULD</bcp14> bound the memory usage when decompressing the
CompressedCertificate message.</t>
      <t>Implementations MUST <bcp14>MUST</bcp14> limit the size of the resulting decompressed chain to
the specified uncompressed length, and they MUST <bcp14>MUST</bcp14> abort the connection if the
size of the output of the decompression function exceeds that limit.  TLS framing
imposes 16777216 byte a 16777216-byte limit on the certificate message size, and the implementations
MAY
<bcp14>MAY</bcp14> impose a limit that is lower than that; in both cases, they MUST <bcp14>MUST</bcp14> apply the same
limit as if no compression were used.</t>
      <t>While the Certificate message in TLS 1.3 is encrypted, third parties can draw
inferences from the message length observed on the wire.  TLS 1.3 provides a padding
mechanism (discussed in Sections 5.4 <xref target="RFC8446"
sectionFormat="bare" section="5.4"/> and E.3 <xref target="RFC8446"
sectionFormat="bare" section="E.3"/> of <xref target="RFC8446"></xref>) target="RFC8446"/>) to counteract such
analysis.  Certificate compression alters the length of the Certificate message,
and the change in length is dependent on the actual contents of the certificate.
Any padding scheme covering the Certificate message has to address compression
within its design, design or disable it altogether.</t>

<t>It’s numbered="true" toc="default">
      <name>Middlebox Compatibility</name>
      <t>It's been observed that a significant number of middleboxes intercept and try
to validate the Certificate message exchanged during a TLS handshake. This
means that middleboxes that don’t don't understand the CompressedCertificate message
might misbehave and drop connections that adopt certificate compression.
Because of that, the extension is only supported in the versions of TLS where
the certificate message is encrypted in a way that prevents middleboxes from
intercepting it, it -- that is, TLS version 1.3 <xref target="RFC8446"></xref> target="RFC8446" format="default"/> and higher.</t>

To ensure that the values in these fields do not have conflicting uses and to promote interoperability, their allocations are often coordinated by a central record keeper.  For IETF protocols, that role is filled by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA).</t><t>To make assignments in a given registry prudently, guidance describing the conditions under which new values should be assigned, as well as when and how modifications to existing values can be made, is needed.  This document defines a framework for the documentation of these guidelines by specification authors, in order to assure that the provided guidance for the IANA Considerations is clear and addresses the various issues that are likely in the operation of a registry.</t><t>This is the third edition of this document; it obsoletes RFC 5226.</t></abstract>
