  • SSL Bridging

    SSL bridging is a sophisticated process in network security where SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption is terminated at an intermediary, typically a load balancer, which decrypts and re-encrypts traffic before forwarding it to backend servers. Unlike SSL offloading, SSL bridging allows for secure, end-to-end encrypted communication across the network, enhancing data security while offering flexibility…

  • 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…
