comment Reduction from signatures to encryption?
This won't work. The public verification key is public, so I am talking specifically about signatures, not MACs. But thanks for the answer :)

I am assuming you meant that the "third value that the eavesdropper cannot discern" is a nonce. At least thats what it seems from the text.

And of course, the client needs a certificate too, to support the client authentication.

Note: I think you refer to authentication via a certificate. You didn't mention it.

nonces are used to avoid replay attacks, and not for "protecting" the secret value from eveasdroppers. And, TLS does not require the server to have an encryption key. A DSA key will also work. The two parties will use DH key exchange in this case.
