This secret serves as a seed to generate the session (private) keys. The master secret is then encrypted with the merchant&#8217;s public key and sent to the server. The fact that the master secret is generated by the client&#8217;s browser provides the client assurance that the server is not reusing keys that would have been used in a previous session with another client.<br \/>\nSource: ANDRESS, Mandy, Exam Cram CISSP, Coriolis, 2001, Chapter 6: Cryptography (page 112).
