IPSec is a separate Layer 3 security protocol suite used for VPN tunneling and is not an encryption type used within SSL - it operates independently at a different OSI layer.

SSL uses symmetric encryption algorithms (such as AES or RC4) to encrypt session data after the handshake because symmetric ciphers are computationally efficient for encrypting large volumes of data with a shared session key.

'Secret' is not a recognized cryptographic classification - the correct standard categories are symmetric encryption (shared secret key) and asymmetric encryption (public/private key pair).

SSL uses asymmetric encryption (such as RSA or ECDH) during the handshake phase to authenticate the server via its digital certificate and to securely negotiate or exchange the symmetric session key without exposing it in transit.
