Chapter 36: PKI Certificates and SSL

Section IX: Management Security
SSL uses
asymmetrical (Public Key)
encryption to establish a connection
between client and server, and
symmetrical (Secret Key)
encryption for
the data transfer phase.
User Verification
An SSL connection has two phases:
handshake
and
data transfer
. The
handshake
initiates the SSL
session
, during which data is securely
transmitted between a client and server. During the handshake, the
following occurs:
The client and server establish the SSL version they are to use.
The client and server negotiate the
cipher suite
for the session, which
includes encryption, authentication, and key exchange algorithms.
The
symmetrical key
is exchanged.
The client authenticates the server (optionally, the server
authenticates the client).
SSL messages are encapsulated by the
Record Layer
before being
passed to TCP for transmission. Four types of SSL messages exist, they
are:
Handshake
Change Cipher Spec
Alert
Application data (HTTP, FTP or NNTP)
As discussed previously, the Handshake message initiates the SSL
session.
The
Change Cipher Spec
message informs the receiving party that all
subsequent messages are encrypted using previously negotiated security
options. The parties use the strongest cryptographic systems that they
both support.
The
Alert
message is used if the client or server detects an error. Alert
messages also inform the other end that the session is about to close. In
addition, the Alert message contains a severity rating and a description of
the alert. For example, an alert message is sent if either party receives an
invalid certificate or an unexpected message.
The
Application data
message encapsulates the encrypted application
data.
Authentication
Authentication is the process of ensuring that both the web site and the
end user are genuine. In other words, they are not imposters. Both the
server and an individual users need to be authenticated. This is especially
important when transmitting secure data over the Internet.
