7.6 TLS handshake

Once a session has been initialized and a network connection has been set up, TLS and DTLS protocols perform a handshake. The handshake is the actual key exchange.

The handshake process doesn’t ensure the verification of the peer’s identity. When certificates are in use, this can be done, either after the handshake is complete, or during the handshake if gnutls_certificate_set_verify_function has been used. In both cases the gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2 function can be used to verify the peer’s certificate (see Certificate authentication for more information).
