<div><p>With server authentication, the client will ensure that the server
|
|
certificate is valid and that it is signed by a certificate authority (CA)
|
|
which the client trusts.</p>
|
|
<p> SSL will use asymmetric cryptography and handshake protocol flows to generate
|
|
a symmetric key which will be used only for this unique SSL session. This
|
|
key is used to generate a set of keys which are used for encrypting and decrypting
|
|
data which will flow over the SSL session. Subsequently, when an SSL handshake
|
|
has completed, one or both ends of the communication link will have been authenticated.
|
|
Additionally, a unique key will have been generated to encrypt and decrypt
|
|
the data. Once the handshake is completed then application layer data will
|
|
flow encrypted across that SSL session.</p>
