Caching network generated security certificates

Abstract:

Provided are methods and systems for caching network generated security certificates. An example system may include a security gateway node and a storage module. The security gateway node may be operable to receive, from a client, a session request to establish a secure connection with a server. Based on the session request, the security gateway node may establish a first secure session between the client and the security gateway node and a second secure session between the security gateway node and the server. The security gateway node may receive a server certificate from the server. The security gateway node may match the server certificate against a gateway certificate table. Based on the matching, the security gateway node may receive a gateway certificate associated with the gateway certificate entry that matches the server certificate. The gateway certificate may be used for performing the first secure session.
