Glossary Context

Networking

A glossary is a list of terms, abbreviations, or expressions in a particular context or field of knowledge with their respective definitions.

SSL-Bridging

Contexts

The load balancer decrypts the incoming encrypted traffic (same as in SSL-Termination) and re-encrypts it when sending to the destination (e.g. backend instances).

SSL-Passthrough

Contexts

The load balancer passes the encrypted traffic to the destination (e.g. backend instances) without decrypting it.

Because the load balancer only sees encrypted traffic, it is not possible to perform layer 7 (OSI model) actions.

SSL-Termination

Contexts

The load balancer decrypts the incoming encrypted traffic and sends it to the destination (e.g. backend instances) unencrypted.

Zero Trust

Contexts

Security framework that requires all users, devices, and systems, whether inside or outside the organization’s network, to be continuously authenticated, authorized, and validated before gaining access to applications and data.
