Understanding AES-256-GCM Restrictions on Ciphertext Byte Sequences

This tech support article discusses the restrictions on ciphertext byte sequences imposed by the AES-256-GCM encryption algorithm, specifically addressing the presence of the byte sequence 17 03 03 in ciphertext, which may be associated with a TLS record header. Applications typically parse TCP byte streams, and it is important to understand how AES-256-GCM handles restricted byte sequences in ciphertext.
