So Dansmith and I discussed this in December. I have yet to be convinced that this idea is safe. My issue is not so much the stripping of the server mac (I agree that needs to be assessed, maybe it already has), but that the auditor possesses the master secret. Whilst attacks may be practically difficult, it seems to me that this isn't safe. I would love to be convinced otherwise, as it's a powerful idea and full credit to dan for managing to modify NSS to allow it to work.

Edit: to clarify, the issue is that in this architecture the auditor possesses the master secret in real time, ie. the MS of the live connection, whereas in previous architectures the master secret was only passed to the auditor after the connection was torn down (long after).
