<h3 class="section">10.2 TLS Handshake Protocol</h3>
<p>The <acronym>GnuTLS</acronym> handshake protocol is implemented as a state
machine that waits for input or returns immediately when the non-blocking
transport layer functions are used. The main idea is shown in <a href="#fig_002dgnutls_002dhandshake">Figure 10.2</a>.

<div class="float-caption"><p><strong>Figure 10.2: </strong>GnuTLS handshake state machine.</p></div></div>
<p>Also the way the input is processed varies per ciphersuite. Several 
implementations of the internal handlers are available and 
<a href="Core-TLS-API.html#gnutls_005fhandshake">gnutls_handshake</a> only multiplexes the input to the appropriate 
handler. For example a <acronym>PSK</acronym> ciphersuite has a different 
implementation of the <code>process_client_key_exchange</code> than a
certificate ciphersuite. We illustrate the idea in <a href="#fig_002dgnutls_002dhandshake_002dsequence">Figure 10.3</a>.
