Selective partial recovery optimisation strategy for SSL connection migration

The secure socket layer SSL is a popular tool to provide data confidentiality and integrity between two communicating entities. We present a set of techniques for providing recovery strategy for SSL connection migration across the replica servers. The proposed selective partial recovery SPR optimisation strategy for SSL connection migration can be used to speedup SSL recovery session by reducing the recovery time. The strategy described is transparent to the client. The strategy can be integrated into the existing infrastructure without requiring any changes either to the TCP/IP protocol, SSL protocol, or the client. Finally, the proposed strategy is evaluated to be practical and efficient through experiment studies.
