Client balanced secret exchange algorithm in SSL handshake protocol
Guojun Wang · Computer Engineering and Applications Journal · 2007
The primary goal of the Secure Socket Layer(SSL) protocol is to provide confidentiality and data integrity between two communicating entities.Since the step that is most computationally expensive and causes computational imbalance between clients and server in the SSL handshake protocol is the decryption computation of the server,we show that a client balanced secret exchange algorithm can be used to speedup SSL session initialization and undertake the previous computation tasks of server's decryption.It is also introduced that the estimation strategy of parameter which is the size of clients which will be decrypted at the same time.Finally,the proposed algorithm is evaluated to be efficient through simulation studies.
