Hello Benjamin, Thanks for the reply. I know the purpose and benefit of creating different cipher texts of the same corresponding plain text.But I would like to know about the places where this randomness gets introduced to create different encrypted texts.Because SSL handshake takes place only once. After creation of pre secret key(for an entire session) at both the client and the server ends, master key is created based on pre secret key, identifier label, client and server random numbers which is again maintained for an entire session . The master key is responsible for creating MAC key, bulk encryption key and IV for client - server read - write. If the bulk encryption key (which is responsible for encrypting the message ) for an entire session is fixed and constant, then how is the encrypted text different?
