The Cisco Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Compression Module, part number CSS5-SSL-C-K9, is a specialised cryptographic accelerator designed to enhance the performance of SSL processing. This module is engineered to offload SSL-related cryptographic functions from the primary CPU, thereby improving the overall efficiency of the system where it is installed. The CSS5-SSL-C-K9 offers both encryption and decryption capabilities, reducing processing demands typically associated with SSL sessions.
The primary purpose of the CSS5-SSL-C-K9 is to provide enhanced SSL performance across networks, ensuring secure data transactions while reducing the load on system resources. It supports a range of encryption protocols, making it suitable for environments that require robust, high-speed security—such as financial institutions or web application servers handling sensitive customer transactions. By utilising the compression feature, the module also optimises data throughput, offering better overall network efficiency.
This module is designed to fit into compatible Cisco networking hardware, creating a highly secure communications path with minimal delay. Advanced cryptographic algorithms are embedded within the CSS5-SSL-C-K9, making it a vital component for enhancing secure socket layer performance for users operating on Cisco platforms. With an emphasis on efficient SSL handling, this module helps reduce latency by compressing data before transmitting through encrypted channels.
The Cisco CSS5-SSL-C-K9 is recommended for organisations in need of reliable SSL traffic handling, with a focus on maintaining performance under high-load conditions. Users benefit from reinforced security measures without compromising on speed or system overhead reductions.
