Anyone knows the main differences between SSL and TLS?
um, no.
from Rescorla, _SSL and TLS: Designing and Building Secure Systems_,
page 50:
"a number of minor changes were made to the document, ..., with the effect
that key expansion and the message authentication computations are totally
incompatible with SSLv3, destroying most backward compatibility."
the book is quite good. i suggest that it is a better investment than
pestering the IETF mailing list with SSL and TLS questions.
