  • SSL Offloading

    SSL offloading is a technique used to transfer the computational workload of SSL/TLS encryption and decryption from a web server to a dedicated device, such as a load balancer or hardware security module (HSM). This helps optimize server performance by allowing it to handle more client requests without the overhead of SSL processing, especially in…

  • SSL (Secure Socket Layer)

    Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a cryptographic protocol designed to secure communication over computer networks, especially the internet. SSL provides data encryption, server authentication, and message integrity, all essential for protecting sensitive information during transmission.
