Re: [TLS] [certid] [secdir] secdir review of draft-saintandre-tls-server-id-check-09

2010-09-23 13:13:05
There is no black magic here, only the magic of the TLS server_name extension. If the client provides server_name=gmail.com, the server provides a gmail.com cert, otherwise it defaults to mail.google.com. Your browser is following two secure delegations before it lands at www.google.com (gmail.com -> mail.google.com -> www.google.com). My guess based on the anecdotes in the thread is that IE8 doesn't support it.

(You should also be more careful about your HTTP emulation! "A client MUST include a Host header field in all HTTP/1.1 request messages .")

In full detail:

BTW, slightly offtopic here: whenever i connect to gmail.com, i get certificate for mail.google.com. But i've yet to see any web browser to complain! Where is the magic?

Seems totally relevant to me.

Going to https://gmail.com/ I get some kind of redirection to https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin ...

I can confirm the silent redirect behavior on FF, an associate reports it on IE9. I tried IE8 but get the expected "cert was issued for a different website's address" error.

Hopefully I'm overlooking something simple, but at first glance it would seem like either of these two conditions are true:

1. Multiple vendors are putting some kind of override table in their browsers with an entry for gmail.com.

2. Browsers are running script from badly authenticated sources.

So what does gmail.com have in this situation that an attacker couldn't obtain for phonygmail.com?
