TLS oracles guard the transition of web data from an authenticated session between a client and a server to a data representation that any third party can verify. Current TLS oracles resolve weak security assumptions with cryptographic algorithms that provide strong security guarantees (e.g., maliciously secure two-party computation). However, we notice that the conditions and characteristics of TLS 1.3 allow for reconsidering security assumptions. Our work shows that the deployment of semi-honest two-party computation is feasible with a single exception, while retaining equivalent security properties. Further, we introduce a new parity checksum construction to decouple the integrity verification over AEAD stream ciphers into dedicated proof systems and improve end-to-end performance benchmarks. We achieve a selective and privacy-preserving data opening on 16 kB of TLS 1.3 data in 2.11 seconds and open 10x more data compared to related approaches. Thus, our work sets new boundaries for privacy-preserving TLS 1.3 data proofs.
