Hello,

In general they are very close, but main difference are:
 - protocol version in messages (SSL3: 0300, TLS1: 0301)
 - altert protocol messages ( SSL3: 12, TLS1: 23)
 - message authentication mechanism
 - key material generation mechanism
 - "CertificateVerify" handshake packet calculation
 - "Finished" handshake packet calculation

> What are the changes that they will differ in future?
I do not know.
