Abstract
Some embodiments include a method of utilizing a proxy device to mitigate latency related to a transport layer security (TLS) handshake protocol. The proxy device can be an untrusted proxy of a server or a client. The proxy device can negotiate cipher suites on behalf of its principal (e.g., the server or the server) without storing private keys of its principal. The use of the proxy device can reduce a typical two round-trips taken between the server and the client into a single round-trip.
