Abstract

In this paper we suggest a protocol and an algorithm which connect a secure channel between a server and a client over a TCP layer. To make key exchange time the most quickly, the protocol adopts ECC Diffie Hellman(ECCDH) algorithm. And the protocol does not use Hello message for key exchanges and state changes. We also implement this protocol over an open TCP/IP program and check the secure channel connecting time over the military computer network. The suggested protocol could be practically used on the military computer network without a hardware implementation.
