Topic: Handshake (computing)


In the News (Thu 17 Dec 09)

  
  Encyclopedia: Handshake
A handshake is a short ritual in which two people grasp their right or left hands, often accompanied by a brief shake of the grasped hands.
The Islamic handshake is originally a Yemeni pre-islamic tradition, which spread with the expansion of the Islamic empire.
Handshakes are a major route for the transmission of common cold viruses.

 Smart Computing Encyclopedia Entry - handshake   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Handshakes also determine if they’ll use error correction (the method modems use to verify whether the data that has been sent to them is not corrupted), and data compression.
The term “handshaking” refers to controlling the flow of data through a cable, either to a modem, terminal, or other computing device.
Not all cables are capable of handshaking and some use modified forms of handshaking, which provides little or no control for the flow of data.

 Challenge-handshake authentication protocol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computing, the Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) is an authentication protocol used to log on a user to an Internet access provider.
It is defined in RFC 1994: PPP Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP).
CHAP is used to periodically verify the identity of the client by using a three-way handshake.

SSL includes a handshake stage which is responsible for authenticating the server (and optionally the client), determining the encryption and hashing algorithms to be used, and exchanging keys.
The SSL Handshake Protocol is one of the defined higher level clients of the SSL Record Protocol.
Handshake messages are supplied to the SSL Record Layer, where they are encapsulated within one or more SSLPlaintext structures, which are processed and transmitted as specified by the current active session state.

Handshake: When two people shake hands, they are initiating or acknowledging a communication.
A computing handshake has many different functions; first, a handshake may determine how two devices may meet, then begin to exchange information.
The ways two nodes control the speed of data flow between then is through the use of an electronic handshake, an electronic handshake is an exchange of information between a sending node and a receiving node is also determined.

Understanding what occurs during the SSL handshake can shed some light on why the process is so burdensome and why SSL accelerators can improve the performance of your SSL-enabled Web server by off-loading expensive handshake routines to hardware.
If the server has requested client authentication, the client computes a hash of all the SSL messages that have been exchanged, encrypts the result with its private key and sends this data along with the client's own certificate to the server.
Once the handshake is complete, data is transferred between the client and the server in an encrypted mode.

Securing the handshake during a Secure Sockets Layer session (SSL) is vital, since almost all of the security involving the connection is set up inside the handshake.
The client terminates the handshake by sending a message to the server that it has finished, an encrypted set of one-way hash values to be verified by the server.
Remember, securing the handshake during a SSL session is vital since almost all of the security involving the connection is set up inside the handshake.

Additionally, minimum duration of Ri sequence in V90 handshake is now set to 32 data frames instead of 15 data frames in previous versions.
Changes made in version 46 accommodate an increased (beyond-spec) handshake timeout period requested by Lucent that will be required to maintain handshake connection reliability with forthcoming Lucent code releases.
This change does not increase the handshake time - it will allow additional time for call establishment in the event additional handshaking is required by the client modem.

Indeed, utility computing will depend on customers' business models – which is why IBM is developing utility computing infrastructure and why its sales force has been energized with grid messages.
Five years out it expects compute, data and storage grids to be bound together with intelligent caching glue, although it has not been very specific about what this is. It says it will target global, enterprise, R&D, business analytics, engineering and design grid opportunities.

The SSL handshake (Figure 1) consists of a sequence of data exchanges, which allow both parties to obtain the same encryption keys without the actual exchange of the keys over the unsecured channel (Welling 2001).
This concludes the handshake and begins the secured connection, which is encrypted and decrypted with the session keys.
During the SSL handshake, the client verifies that the Common Name part of the Subject name of the server certificate matches the host name found in the HTTP request.

If it is decided that it is not a real problem just go with HMAC on the full handshake data.
