Chapter 19: Confidentiality of Data

Performance

There is additional overhead required to establish a secure session, because data increases in size when it is encrypted, and it requires additional computation to encrypt or decrypt information. The additional memory requirements for SSL increases the overhead by 50-60 percent for network throughput or for establishing a connection. You must have approximately 40K more memory for each user connection.
