!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] describes a Step within the [TLS Handshake] process.
The [user-agent] sends a digital signature computed by the [user-agent] over all previous handshake messages.
%%information
The [{$pagename}] message is ONLY sent when the server requested a [user-agent] certificate that has signing capability (i.e. all [certificates] except those containing fixed Diffie-Hellman parameters) and the [user-agent] complied.
%%
When sent, it will immediately follow the [ClientKeyExchange].
This is how the [user-agent] proves to the server that it really "owns" the [Public Key] which is encoded in the certificate it sent in the [CertificateRequest].
Structure of this message:
%%prettify
{{{
struct {
Signature signature;
} CertificateVerify;
CertificateVerify.signature.md5_hash
MD5(handshake_messages);
Certificate.signature.sha_hash
SHA(handshake_messages);
}}} /%
In [TLS] the [{$pagename}] process is where the [user-agent] sends the [Digital Signature] computed by the [user-agent] using its [Private Key] over all previous handshake_messagess, including the type and length fields of the handshake_messagess, starting at [ClientHello] up to but not including this [{$pagename}] message to the server in an unencrypted message.
The Next Step the [user-agent] sends the [change_cipher_spec] in an unencrypted message.
