A patch implementing channel binding has been presented for integration into Postgres 11: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/14/1153/. Two channel types are presented: tls-finish and endpoint. Per the RFC 5802, it is mandatory to use SSL if you want channel binding as the data needed for binding validation is either the TLS finish message which can be found after the SSL handshake between the server and the client (which happens before the password-based authentication), and a hash of the server certificate. All those things are actually supported by a set of APIs in OpenSSL.
