Hi folks., I would like to know as an ssl server, when do I send a "Hello request" on the wire? Based on what parameters should I trigger that? I have quite a few questions based on this
A) Does the re-handshake happen on the existing tcp connection? i.e the tcp connection over which the "hello request" message is sent by the my server? B) After the rehandshake is completed, does application data continue to flow in the same tcp connection but now with the new cipher parameters? C) Does rehandhake involve public key operations as well? i.e does the premaster secret change? I am really confused and I did spend sometime with the RFC, but I am really lost..I was thinking if I called the API : SSL_CTX_set_timeout(), then the session will eventually expire and end up triggering a rehandshake if application data was flowing in that session at expiration time. But I didnt see any such messages go out on the wire. Could anyone explain whats going on?
