For the list of Cipher suites supported, see FCS_COP.1(2) in the Security Target.

5.SSL Change cipher spec protocol: The SSL change cipher spec protocol signals transitions in the security parameters. The protocol consists of a single message, which is encrypted with the current security parameters. Using the change cipher spec message, security parameters can be changed by either the client or the server. The receiver of the change cipher spec message informs the SSL record protocol of the updates to security parameters.

6.SSL alert protocol: The SSL alert protocol communicates SSL-specific errors, such as errors encountered during handshake or message verification, to the appropriate peer.

7.SSL record protocol: The SSL record protocol takes messages to be transmitted, fragments them into manageable blocks, and optionally compresses them. Then, using all the negotiated security parameters, applies a message authentication code (MAC), encrypts the data, and transmits the result to the transport layer (TCP). The received data is decrypted, verified, decompressed, and reassembled. It is then delivered to a higher layer.

The SSL record protocol provides confidentiality by encrypting the message with the shared secret key negotiated by the handshake protocol. The SSL record protocol provides message integrity by attaching a MAC to the message. The MAC is created with another shared secret key negotiated by the handshake protocol.

Figure 5-92[STALLS] depicts the operation of the SSL record protocol.
