Handshake protocol 2 – Transport Layer Security at a Glance

The ClientHello and ServerHello messages contain information to establish a shared secret, the handshake secret. If DHE or ECDHE key agreement is used, the ServerHello message includes the key˙share TLS extension with Alice’s secret Diffie-Hellman share. Moreover, Alice’s share must be from the same group as one of the shares presented by Bob. If, on…
