What is SSL Offloading?

March 7, 2022

Transcription

Encryption is the key to ensuring the security and integrity of internet communications. The problem with encryption is that encrypting and decrypting data requires a considerable investment of processor cycles for each connection. The answer to these issues is SSL offloading: the use of a solution that acts as a gateway and can use specialized hardware to accelerate SSL encryption and SSL decryption.
