Transport Layer Security Channel ID (TLS Channel ID, previously known as Transport Layer Security – Origin Bound Certificates TLS-OBC)[1] is a draft RFC proposal[2][3] Transport Layer Security (TLS) extension that aims to increase TLS security by using certificates on both ends of the TLS connection. Notably, the client is permitted to dynamically create a local, self-signed certificate that provides additional security.

It can also protect users from the related domain cookie attack.[4][unreliable source?][5][unreliable source?]

Token Binding

Token Binding is an evolution of the TLS Channel ID feature,[6] and the IETF draft has Microsoft and Google as authors.[7]
