Chrome v24+ does support all you need for channel-bound cookies: it supports TLS Channel IDs (previously known as Origin-Bound Certificates). To actually bind cookies, it is the server's responsibility to extract the channel ID from the TLS/SSL handshake, and bind the cookies to it.


Do any cloud SSL terminators like Amazon ELB support forwarding the channel IDs on to the application servers (i.e. in a custom header)? For that matter, is there a configuration setting for i.e. Nginx if you want to roll your own SSL terminator to do this? Having trouble finding good documentation about how to handle this from the server side.
