High Performance Internet Security Cryptographic Functions through OpenSSL
Abstract
The transport layer security protocol is currently the predominant method of implementing internet security. This project proposes the cryptographic algorithms used in the SSL/TLS protocol. Open SSL(Secure Socket Layer), an open source implementation of the SSL v3 and TLS v1 protocol is deployed in the proposed system. Key cipher functions used in SSL-driven connections, which include SHA-2,SEA ,MD5 algorithms. Experimental results show significant improvements in performance of the SSL Transactions when the proposed cryptosystem is deployed in the networking system.
