Embodiments of the present invention disclose an HTTPS acceleration method and system based on a content distribution network. The method comprises: step 1), a client end initiating an HTTPS access request to a CDN network border node, and the CND network border node allocating in balance a session and buffer server via a front-end load to perform three handshakes with the client end; step 2), during the handshaking process, the allocated session and buffer server performing HTTPS session management, and simultaneously performing interaction, by means of a private key and encryption/decryption of a user certificate, with a centralized authentication server, and returning a result of the interaction to the client end; and step 3), after completing the handshaking process, the session and buffer server launching a buffer service to provide the client end with a CDN service, wherein, if data requested by the client end is bufferable, the data is acquired directly from the session and buffer server, and if the da
