Multi-Context TLS (mcTLS)

mcTLS is a secure communication protocol that extends TLS to allow endpoints to incorporate trusted middleboxes into secure sessions.

• No Transparent Middleboxes: Both endpoints explicitly approve each middlebox.
• Least Privilege: Middleboxes see only what they need to do their jobs.
• Middlebox Authentication: Client and server can verify the identity of each middlebox.
• No Custom Root Certificates: Overall security is not undermined by requiring users to install root certificates.
