Abstract
The TLS handshake requires the use of CPU-intensive public-key algorithms with a considerable overhead in resource-constrained environments or ones such as mainframes where users are charged for CPU time. This document describes a means of employing TLS using symmetric keys or passwords shared in advance among communicating parties. No modifications or alterations to the TLS protocol are required for this process.
