XTLS: Scalable TLS Offloading through Host-SmartNIC Stack Co-Design

XTLS (eXtract TLS), a TLS offloading architecture that liberates the host CPU from this "TLS tax", is presented, a dual-stack design that offloads the entire TLS stack to the NIC—leaving the host to focus on application logic—and an adaptive per-flow symmetric-crypto NIC offload policy that jointly optimizes Requests P...
