Chapter 25: Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)

Section V: Security Features 526

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 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.

To verify the authenticity of a server, the server has a public and private

key. The public key is given to the user.

SSL uses certificates for authentication. A certificate binds a public key to

a server name. A Certification Authority issues certificates after checking

that a public key belongs to its claimed owner. There are several

agencies that are trusted to issue certificates. Individual browsers have

approved Root CAs that are built in to the browser.

Note

See Public Key Infrastructure Overview on page 502 for detailed

information about certificates.
