-ELB uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) negotiation configurations, known as _security policies_ , to negotiate connections between the clients and the load balancer. When you use HTTPS/SSL for your front-end connections, you can use either a predefined security policy or a custom security policy. You must deploy an SSL certificate on your load balancer. The load balancer uses this certificate to terminate the connection and then decrypt requests from clients before sending them to the instances. The load balancer uses a static cipher suite for back-end connections. You can optionally choose to enable authentication on your instances.
