AppSecure - Session resumption and renegotiation with SSL proxy

The computational overhead for a complete SSL handshake and master key generation can be considerable. To reduce overhead, you can use session resumption with SSL proxy to cache session par-ameters such as the pre-master secret key, selected ciphers, and so forth. When a subsequent connection is attempted, the client and server can resume the previous session by specifying its session ID. With session renegotiation you can modify SSL parameters for a connection. Session renegotiation can be used to refresh cipher keys for a prolonged SSL session.
