In the most basic terms, a SSL Handshake is an agreement for connection parameters between the device and the server it is connecting to. Were you around during the days of 56k?

The Diagnostic and Data Usage section are just a bunch of text logs of System Events that occur on your iOS device. The log isn't necessarily tracking your actions, but more creating entries when events such as an app crash occurs.
