This report analyses the communications structure of the SSL Handshake Protocol and suggests alterations based on such analysis, which cover issues of general security, as well as some of the administrative points associated with certification.
Abstract
SSL, as a proposed secure communications protocol, is set to become an international standard. As such it is importan t to have a full discussion of the technical and practical issues behind the protocol before the onset of commercial and industry acceptance. The protocol goes in front of an IETF BOF in July of this year and it is hoped that this document will be one of many to provide a small discussion point for that meeting. This report analyses the communications structure of the SSL Handshake Protocol and suggests alterations based on such analysis. Other recommendations cover issues of general security, as well as some of the administrative points associated with certification.

Performance Analysis of TLS Web Servers.

TL;DR: The results seem to suggest that, as CPUs become faster, the cryptographic costs of TLS will become dwarfed by the CPU costs of the nonsecurity aspects of a Web server.

Performance analysis of TLS Web servers

TL;DR: In this article, the authors perform a comprehensive study of the performance costs of TLS and find that RSA operations represent the largest performance cost in TLS Web servers, but they do not solely account for TLS overhead.

Client-side caching for TLS

TL;DR: The "fast-track" mechanism provides a client-side cache of a server's public parameters and negotiated parameters in the course of an initial, enabling handshake, and the "client-side session caching" mechanism allows the server to store an encrypted version of the session information on a client, allowing a server to maintain a much larger number of active sessions in a given memory footprint.

Security Analysis and Improvement of TLS

TL;DR: The analysis of security about TLS (transport layer security) protocol is proposed, based on once encipherment, access control and dual certificate, and extensions are given for message.
