Improving Secure Server Performance by EAMRSA SSL Handshakes
Hengbo Li, Guang Jin Zhao · 2012
SSL is a cryptographic protocol that is widely used in secure applications based on web browser. SSL servers are often overloaded with many simultaneous requests. So it is important to look for faster algorithms in order to speed up decryption stages for improve SSL performance. In the paper, we investigate the performance of EAMRSA algorithm which improves the performance by load transferring technique in SSL/TLS handshake protocol. This technique facilitates more favorable load distribution by requiring clients to perform more work (as part of encryption) and servers to perform commensurately less work, thus resulting in better SSL throughput. The solution improves the performance of the SSL system. Theoretical results demonstrate that the method can speed up processing of RSA private key operations by a factor of between 4.5 to 18, depending on the RSA key size.
