Claim:
A system for encrypted data transmission via a secure connection over a network, the system comprising: a plurality of client devices, wherein each client device is communicatively coupled to one or more proxy servers; one or more application servers, wherein each application server is communicatively coupled to a plurality of proxy servers and encrypted data is transmitted between a client device and an application server from the one or more application servers via a proxy server and a secure connection while using an unreliable transport protocol, and wherein each application server simultaneously communicates with the plurality of communicatively coupled proxy servers; and a plurality of proxy servers, wherein each proxy server includes cache memory that includes a copy of at least a portion of a collection of cached session information from previous secure communication sessions between the plurality of client devices and the plurality of proxy servers, wherein each of the plurality of proxy servers resumes an interrupted secure transmission session with at least a partial security handshake using at least a portion of the collected cached session information, and wherein the collection of cached session information includes information needed for a first proxy server of the plurality of proxy servers in a first secure connection with a second proxy server of the plurality of proxy servers to switch the first secure connection to connect the first proxy server and a third proxy server of the plurality of proxy servers using the cached session information and without having to generate a new secure connection.
