The client device and the virtual delivery appliance may share a symmetric encryption key and encrypt data communications exchanged therebetween with the symmetric encryption key. The system may further include a gateway appliance configured to relay the encrypted communications between the client device and the virtual delivery appliance, the gateway appliance not having the symmetric key and being unable to decrypt the encrypted communications relayed between the virtual delivery appliance and the client device.
