Abstract
According to one embodiment of the invention, a network device comprises a first processing element and a second processing element. The first processing element is adapted to handle an authentication handshaking protocol, such as the SSL/TLS Handshake, and upon receipt of a Client Key Exchange message, passes control of the authentication handshaking protocol to the second processing element. The second processing element completes the authentication handshaking protocol.
