Secure web browsing over long-delay broadband networks - Recommendations for Web Browsers

Current browser implementations provide less than desirable secure web page response time over geosynchronous satellite and other long delay broadband networks (e.g., intercontinental access across the Internet). This document defines the issues and recommends a set of enhancements that improve response time without compromising security. These enhancements are shown, by analysis, to provide more than a 50% response time reduction for a typical secure web page.
