CISSP study material · question 41 of 500

To cut handshake cost on a heavily loaded TLS 1.3 service, a platform team configures its servers to issue resumption tickets advertising a thirty-day lifetime. A reviewer warns that clients will ignore the advertised value long before then. Which description of ticket lifetime handling is correct?

  1. The advertised lifetime may not exceed one day, and a client stops reusing the ticket as soon as the connection is closed.
  2. The advertised lifetime may reach thirty days, and a client stops reusing the ticket when the server's advertised value expires.
  3. The advertised lifetime may not exceed seven days, and a client stops reusing the ticket seven days after issuance regardless.
  4. The advertised lifetime is unbounded, and a client stops reusing the ticket only when the server refuses a resumption attempt.
Show the answer

Answer: C. The advertised lifetime may not exceed seven days, and a client stops reusing the ticket seven days after issuance regardless.

A ticket's advertised lifetime is capped at 604800 seconds, one week, and clients must stop reusing a ticket seven days after issuance whatever the server advertises.
