<t pn="section-1-1">The TLS protocol <xref target="RFC8446" format="default" sectionFormat="of" derivedContent="RFC8446"/> includes several points of
extensibility, including the list of cipher suites and several lists of extensions.
The values transmitted in these lists identify implementation capabilities. TLS follows
a model where one side, usually the client, advertises capabilities, and the
peer, usually the server, selects them. The responding side must ignore unknown
values so that new capabilities may be introduced to the ecosystem while
maintaining interoperability.</t>
<t pn="section-1-2">However, bugs may cause an implementation to reject unknown
values. It will interoperate with existing peers, so the mistake may
spread through the ecosystem unnoticed. Later, when new values are
defined, updated peers will discover that the metaphorical joint in the
protocol has rusted shut and the new values cannot be deployed without
interoperability failures.</t>
<t pn="section-1-3">To avoid this problem, this document reserves some currently unused values for
TLS implementations to advertise at random. Correctly implemented peers will ignore
these values and interoperate. Peers that do not tolerate unknown values will
fail to interoperate, revealing the mistake before it is
widespread.</t>
<t pn="section-1-4">In keeping with the rusted joint metaphor, this technique is called "GREASE"
(Generate Random Extensions And Sustain Extensibility).</t>

<name slugifiedName="name-sending-grease-values">Sending GREASE Values</name>
<t pn="section-5-1">Implementations advertising GREASE values <bcp14>SHOULD</bcp14> select them at random.
This is intended to encourage implementations to ignore all unknown values
rather than any individual value. Implementations <bcp14>MUST</bcp14> honor protocol
specifications when sending GREASE values. For instance, <xref target="RFC8446" sectionFormat="of" section="4.2" format="default" derivedLink="https://rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8446#section-4.2" derivedContent="RFC8446"/> forbids duplicate extension types within a single
extension block. Implementations sending multiple GREASE extensions in a single
block must therefore ensure the same value is not selected twice.</t>
<t pn="section-5-2">Implementations <bcp14>SHOULD</bcp14> balance diversity in GREASE advertisements with determinism.
For example, a client that randomly varies GREASE value positions for each
connection may only fail against a broken server with some probability. This
risks the failure being masked by automatic retries. A client that positions
GREASE values deterministically over a period of time (such as a single
software release) stresses fewer cases but is more likely to detect bugs from
those cases.</t>

<t pn="section-7-1">GREASE values cannot be negotiated, so they do not directly impact the
security of TLS connections.</t>
<t pn="section-7-2">Historically, when interoperability problems arise in deploying new TLS
features, implementations have used a fallback retry on error with the
feature disabled. This allows an active attacker to silently disable the
new feature. By preventing a class of such interoperability problems,
GREASE reduces the need for this kind of fallback. Implementations <bcp14>SHOULD NOT</bcp14> retry with GREASE disabled on connection failure. While allowing an
attacker to disable GREASE is unlikely to have immediate security
consequences, such a fallback would prevent GREASE from defending against
extensibility failures.</t>
<t pn="section-7-3">If an implementation does not select GREASE values at random, it is
possible it will allow for fingerprinting of the implementation or
perhaps even of individual users. This can result in a negative impact to
a user's privacy.</t>

<t>This document specifies version 1.2 of the Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) protocol. The DTLS protocol provides communications privacy for datagram protocols. The protocol allows client/server applications to communicate in a way that is designed to prevent eavesdropping, tampering, or message forgery. The DTLS protocol is based on the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol and provides equivalent security guarantees. Datagram semantics of the underlying transport are preserved by the DTLS protocol. This document updates DTLS 1.0 to work with TLS version 1.2. [STANDARDS-TRACK]</t>
