Re: [TLS] Comments on TLS identity protection



On every renegotiation, does the server have to reauthenticate itself
(present its certificate again)?  Or can the credential on the client
side be cached to avoid that duplication?

Correct.

I had the same thought but completely failed to point this out.

In the not uncommon case with IIS renegotiating after having
evaluated the HTTP(S)-request, the one-pass protocol can not
be used.
