RFC-5705 February 2015
Added support for TLS Keying Material Exporters
Keying Material Exporter [RFC-5705] allow additional keying material to be
derived from existing TLS channel. This exported keying material can then be
used for a variety of purposes. TLS allows client and server to establish
keying material for use in the upper layers between the TLS end-points and
channel bindings is straightforward and well-defined mechanism how to
authenticate other layers.
OpenVPN Configuration
--keying-material-exporter label len
Export Keying Material [RFC-5705] of len bytes (min. 16 bytes) using label in
environment (exported_keying_material) for use by plugins in
OPENVPN_PLUGIN_TLS_FINAL callback.
Note that exporter labels have the potential to collide with existing PRF
labels. In order to prevent this, labels MUST begin with "EXPORTER".
(This option requires OpenSSL 1.0.1 or newer.)

Terminology
AAA Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting:
functions that are generally required to control
access to a service and support auditing.
Secure channel a packet, datagram, octet stream connection, or
sequence of connections between two end-points that
affords cryptographic integrity and confidentiality
to data exchanged over it.
Channel binding the process of establishing that no man-in-the-middle
exists between two end-points that have been
authenticated using secure channel.
TLS Binding Key Exported Keying Material [RFC5705]
If no context is provided, it then computes:
PRF(SecurityParameters.master_secret, label,
SecurityParameters.client_random +
SecurityParameters.server_random
)[length]
If context is provided, it computes:
PRF(SecurityParameters.master_secret, label,
SecurityParameters.client_random +
SecurityParameters.server_random +
context_value_length + context_value
)[length]
AAA Binding Key TLS side channel authentication based on secure
channel bindings requires one more key derivation.
SHA1(TLSExportedKeyingMaterial + ServerPublicKey)
