Not that I'm disagreeing with you, but aren't SSL connections rather expensive to establish because of the public key encrypted key exchange? Ofcourse anno 2014

Not that I'm disagreeing with you, but aren't SSL connections rather expensive to establish because of the public key encrypted key exchange? Ofcourse anno 2014 that doesn't matter, but the whole library seems a bit engineered for 1998 when establishing SSL was probably a pretty significant thing.
- chalst 13y agoThey should be regarded as expensive today, because key exchange is one of distinct parts of the attack surface of an SSL implementation. The less often this exchange is visible to eavesdroppers, the better.
