TLS: Server Handshake Response
The server responds with a plain-text message consisting of the following parts:
- An
exchange method to be used for passing back and forth the keys to be
used for encrypting information. This is typically either RSA or
Diffie-Hellman-Merkle. If it is RSA, the server must send along also a
Certificate (discussed below).
- The type of encryption to be used (RC4 or preferably 3DES).
- The
technique to be used for calculating the Message Authentication Code, a
checksum appended to messages and used to verify that the message
contents haven’t been tampered with. Typically MD5 or SHA-1.
