The invention concerns file transmission using a secure protocol such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or Transaction Layer Security (TLS). Files to be served are pre- processed to insert empty spaces therein, in the location(s) where hash values are required according to the protocol definition. When the file is requested by a client, actual hash values are computed and substituted for the reserved empty spaces. This technique enables sending large blocks of data to an encryption engine and takes advantage of resulting processing efficiencies, without regard to smaller size limitations for message segments that are imposed by a security protocol definition.
