TLSterminaation
TLS termination, also known as SSL termination or SSL offloading, is the process of decrypting encrypted Transport Layer Security (TLS) traffic. This decryption typically occurs at a point before the traffic reaches the intended application server. The primary purpose of TLS termination is to reduce the processing load on application servers by offloading the computationally intensive task of encryption and decryption.
When TLS termination is performed, the connection between the client and the termination point is secured with
Common locations for TLS termination include load balancers, reverse proxies, firewalls, and dedicated SSL accelerators. By
