The research of improving SSL handshake performance

An RSA variant algorithmic approach for speeding up SSL´s performance is presented on a web server. The RSA variant improves the performance of SSL´s handshake protocol by up to a factor of 7.5 for 1024-bit RSA keys. We improve the server´s performance by batching the SSL handshake protocol and shifting some decryption work to SSL clients. The theoretical value shows that the performance of the SSL handshake protocol has been substantially improved by the method.
