/** @file
 *
 * Classic TLS static RSA pre-master secret
 *
 * With classic static RSA key transport, the client unilaterally
 * constructs the shared pre-master secret and then encrypts it using
 * the server's public key.
 *
 * We model key transport as a key exchange algorithm that is
 * incapable of generating public keys and where the public key size
 * is zero (implying that the shared secret must be communicated via a
 * means other than key exchange).
 *
 * This RSA pre-master secret structure could in principle have been
 * used with any public-key algorithm that supports encryption and
 * decryption (rather than only signing and verification), but no
 * non-RSA cipher suites were ever defined to use this exact same
 * structure of the pre-master secret.
 *
 * Key transport provides no forward secrecy since a compromise of the
 * server's long-term private key provides the ability to decrypt all
 * pre-master secrets that were encrypted using that key.  Almost all
 * servers will prefer to use ephemeral key exhange (which does
 * provide forward secrecy).  We retain support for key transport only
 * for the sake of backwards compatibility with older servers.
