SSL/TLS Termination
The process of decrypting SSL/TLS traffic at a proxy to reduce cryptographic compute overhead on backend nodes.
SSL/TLS Termination decrypts secure traffic at the load balancer or reverse proxy level. Decrypted HTTP requests are forwarded to application servers, offloading CPU-intensive handshakes.
