st lines, through the implementation of dummy ciphers and MAC with TLS_NULL_WITH_NULL_NULL.) These attributes and behaviours are mostly mapped in this class. Also, note that Scapy may make a current state out of a pending state which has been initialized with dummy security parameters. We need this in order to know when the content of a TLS message is encrypted, whether we possess the right keys to decipher/verify it or not. For instance, when Scapy parses a CKE without knowledge of any secret, and then a CCS, it needs to know that the following Finished is encrypted and signed according to a new cipher suite, even though it cannot decipher the message nor verify its integrity.
