Isn't the normal term for this to terminate TLS, not unwrap it?

  That wouldn't fit in a nice acronym

    I dunno. TITTS seems pretty memorable to me

      A bit too memorable perhaps.

  The name is inspired by stud (Scalable TLS Unwrapping Daemon), another TLS termination server with a cool acronym.

  I believe that I'm responsible for that. Jamie Turner asked me to review bump's STUD, which was at that point the "Scalable TLS something daemon"; I suggested to him that the "something" could be "unwrapping" and would both make sense and make the acronym work. You'd have to ask Jamie to be sure, though. It's entirely possible that someone else suggested this too.
