sessiond Description

Advertisement sessiond is a Security software developed by Michal Trojnara. After our trial and test, the software is proved to be official, secure and free. Here is the official description for sessiond: sessiond allows a cluster of SSL/TLS servers to share their session caches in order to Prevent each node of the cluster from negotiating a separate session. SSL/TLS session is basically a set of secret values (symmetric encryption keys, MAC secrets) shared between a client and a server. The use of asymmetric Cryptography required to establish new sessions is the main performance bottleneck of the SSL/TLS protocol. sessiond takes the port number as a parameter. The Default port is 54321. The timeout is Currently hardcoded to 200ms. It seems to be a reasonable value to allow uninterrupted operation in case of sessiond server failure or a lost packet. There is no encryption of sessiond traffic, as the network infrastructure within a cluster is usually trusted. Security requirements for the infrastructure: * sessiond port must not be accessible from untrusted networks * network traffic between Stunnel and sessiond must only be accessible by trusted personnel
