I'm not sure it would help you to know how the Master Keys are generated or encoded - it's not simple. It's a process involving the accumulated TLS handshake messages, random number generation, various sorts of key exchanges, cryptographic hashes, and the PRF function described in the TLS RFC'

Master key and Pairwise Master Key encryption

Hi, I want to know about the Master key (MK) encapsulation and Pairwise Master key (PMK) generation during EAP-TLS or EAP-TTLS methods. When the supplicant is authenticated, the server generates a MK and sends it in encrypted format to the supplicant. How this MK (I think it is a random number) is
