Seansivõti
Seansivõti, often translated as "session key," is a temporary cryptographic key used in secure communication protocols, most notably in Transport Layer Security (TLS) and its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). Its primary purpose is to encrypt the data exchanged during a specific communication session between two parties, such as a web browser and a server.
Unlike long-term symmetric keys or asymmetric key pairs used for initial authentication and key exchange, a
The generation of a session key typically involves a handshake process. During this process, the client and
