Mar 21, 2017 at 4:30 comment added user207421 There is no such thing as the 'master key in SSL terminology'. There is a master secret, but it is not the session key. Those are derived from the master secret.
Jan 2, 2013 at 21:57 comment added Thomas Pornin The sequence number is not encoded in the record itself; it is implicit. First record sent after activating the encryption+MAC has sequence number 0, second record has sequence number 1, and so on. Since sender and receiver agree "naturally" on the record order, there is no ambiguity (the inclusion of the sequence number in the MAC computation detects anything phony in that respect). See RFC 5246, end of section 6.1, and section 6.2.3.1.
Jan 2, 2013 at 21:47 comment added sanazz Thanks a lot. Is sequence number both encrypted an MACed?
