| Mar 1, 2020 at 8:11 | comment | added | Steffen Ullrich | @J_N_300: what is described in the blog you refer to is actually RSA (secret created by client only and send encrypted with public key to server). So your question basically boils down to the difference between DH and RSA, which is a duplicate. | |
| Mar 1, 2020 at 3:59 | comment | added | dave_thompson_085 | The diagram in thecybersecurityman.com/2017/11/22/how-does-https-work is poor, but the text seems clear enough to me: the 'key' (really the premaster secret, which derives the keys but is not itself a key) is encrypted by the client, sent, and decrypted by the server, meaning the value is now shared. | |

| Feb 29, 2020 at 23:04 | comment | added | J_N_300 | @mti2935 Does this mean that there are three ways to go about this in TLS? RSA, DH and the whatever is used in the blog post I mentioned? | |
| Feb 29, 2020 at 23:03 | comment | added | J_N_300 | @SteffenUllrich That is a helpful link but I don't think it answers my question unless I'm mistaken. | |
