TLS handshake
Türkçe: TLS el sıkışması
The short exchange at the start of a connection in which the parties agree on protocol version, cipher suite and session key.
// EXPLANATION
The server sends its certificate, the client verifies it, and a shared session key is then derived through key exchange. TLS 1.3 reduced this to one round trip, making it both faster and more secure.
