'''TLS Offloading''' (or SSL Offloading, which uses an older encryption method) is a method by which a connection from a server can be [[Encryption|encrypt]]ed partway along the link, rather than on the server. Since [[Secure Sockets Layer|SSL]]/TLS encryption takes time and effort, this entire process can be moved to a dedicated device. As a result, the server connects through its trusted, internal network in the clear (with no encryption) to a dedicated server or server cluster which handles only the encryption. The communications being sent out by the server are encrypted there, and passed on to the client over the internet. The responses from the client are also decrypted at the SSL/TLS server, before it is passed on unencrypted to the host server. The user should see no difference it behavior as a result, but the server will experience improved performance.<ref>https://www.f5.com/services/resources/glossary/ssl-offloading</ref><ref>https://www.techwalla.com/articles/what-is-ssl-offloading</ref>
