Notes
-----
The message which has to be sent after server fails to authenticate the peer is 
,TLS alert message, The TLS change cipher spec and the TLS finished cannot be 
sent from the server side if the server fails to authenticate the peer. Instead 
the server has to send TLS alert message after the peer sends change cipher 
spec.
