Thank you, Stephen. You answered regarding randomness in different sessions if session resumption is on. But my question revolves around the same messages within the same Session. How different encrypted texts are formed of the same plaintext between a client -server? Is it only the iv changes or the MAC, BULK encryption keys as well? -- View this message in context: http://openssl.6102.n7.nabble.com/different-encrypted-text-for-the-same-plain-text-message-tp67595p67635.html Sent from the OpenSSL - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
