Batching SSL/TLS Handshake Improved
نویسندگان
چکیده
Secure socket layer (SSL) is the most popular protocol to secure Internet communications. Since SSL handshake requires a large amount of computational resource, batch RSA was proposed to speedup SSL session initialization. However, the batch method is impractical since it requires a multiple of certificates. In this paper, we overcome this problem without modifying SSL protocol. To select the optimal batching parameters in terms of performance of server and durable waiting time of the client, we model the connection request with M/D/1 queue. We validate the solutions of the analytical model through simulation.

Improving SSL Handshake Performance via Batching
We present an algorithmic approach for speeding up SSL’s performance on a web server. Our approach improves the performance of SSL’s handshake protocol by up to a factor of 2.5 for 1024-bit RSA keys. It is designed for heavily-loaded web servers handling many concurrent SSL sessions. We improve the server’s performance by batching the SSL handshake protocol. That is, we show that b SSL handshak...
متن کاملLessons Learned From Previous SSL/TLS Attacks - A Brief Chronology Of Attacks And Weaknesses
Since its introduction in 1994 the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol (later renamed to Transport Layer Security (TLS)) evolved to the de facto standard for securing the transport layer. SSL/TLS can be used for ensuring data confidentiality, integrity and authenticity during transport. A main feature of the protocol is its flexibility. Modes of operation and security aims can easily be configur...
متن کاملSSL-over-SOAP: Towards a Token-based Key Establishment Framework for Web Services
Key establishment is essential for many applications of cryptography. Its purpose is to negotiate keys for other cryptographic schemes, usually for encryption and authentication. In a web services context, WS-SecureConversation has been specified to make use of negotiated keys. The most popular key establishment scheme in the Internet is the (handshake protocol of the) Secure Socket Layer or Tr...
متن کاملHash Function Combiners in TLS and SSL
The TLS and SSL protocols are widely used to ensure secure communication over an untrusted network. Therein, a client and server first engage in the so-called handshake protocol to establish shared keys that are subsequently used to encrypt and authenticate the data transfer. To ensure that the obtained keys are as secure as possible, TLS and SSL deploy hash function combiners for key derivatio...
متن کاملPerformance Improvements on the Network Level Security Protocols
In a subscription-based remote service, a user is charged a flat fee for a period of time independent of the actual number of times the service is requested. The main concern of the service manager is to make sure that only customers that have paid the fee for the current period are granted access to the service. To do this, the service manager might give each user a username and a password to ...
