However, renegotiation requires a disproportional amount of server-side resources, particularly CPU time, which makes it a potential vector for denial-of-service attacks. To mitigate this issue, we keep track of and limit the number of renegotiation requests over time, emitting an error if the threshold is exceeded.	13 years ago

tls: mitigate session renegotiation attacks

The TLS protocol allows (and sometimes requires) clients to renegotiate the
session. However, renegotiation requires a disproportional amount of server-side
resources, particularly CPU time, which makes it a potential vector for
denial-of-service attacks.

To mitigate this issue, we keep track of and limit the number of renegotiation
requests over time, emitting an error if the threshold is exceeded.
