Does anyone know how Internet Explorer generates its symmetric keys for SSL?
Which function calls are made? I was under the impression it used
CryptDeriveKey during the SSL handshake to get the keys, but I only see one
call to CryptDeriveKey in my IE trace, and it happens when IE first loads,
not when an SSL connection is negotiated. This is a bit of a head-scratcher
for me and any help would be greatly appreciated.
