Abstract:

Provided are methods and systems for establishing secure sessions. A method for establishing secure sessions may commence with receiving a request to establish a secure session between a client and a server. Client security parameters may be provided in client extension fields of the request. The method may include forwarding the request to the server and receiving a secure session response from the server. Server security parameters may be provided in server extension fields of the secure session response. The method may include receiving a server key secret, forwarding the secure session response and the server key secret to the client, receiving a client key secret, and forwarding the client key secret to the server. The method may continue with calculating a session key and establishing a first secure session between the security gateway and the server and a second secure session between the security gateway and the client.
