Method for SSL optimization for an SSL proxy

Abstract:

Described embodiments establish at least one secure connection for a session. An intermediary device may intercept a domain name service (DNS) request from a client. The device may determine, according to the intercepted DNS request and configuration data of the device, that the client is preparing to establish a session with a server. The device may send a client hello message of the device to the server for establishing a first secure connection between the device and the server for the session, prior to the client sending a client hello message of the client for establishing a second secure connection between the client and the device for the session. The second secure connection may be established between the client and the device using a specified value for a session identifier received from the server in response to the client hello message of the device.
