•SSL creates a public-key pair so that it can safely
transmit data using a
private key.
•
•The private key is encrypted using public-key encryption
and is sent to the
browser. Using the private key protects
the remainder of the
information transfer between the browser and the Web site.
•
•When the user leaves the secure Web site, the browser discards these temporary keys, or session keys.
•
•Session keys exist
only during a single, active session between a browser and server.
