Optimized Transport Layer Security

In the digital age with information traversing across networks globally, securing these communication channels is critical. Clients and servers often communicate through proxies, acting as intermediaries, thus creating potential security weak spots and hence a need for secure communication protocols. The problem with many current approaches is that they often permit the proxy to access the content, escalating the risk of data breaches. Moreover, consistency in adhering to communication protocols may waver, thereby compromising the integrity of the information. These problems necessitate the need for efficient, security-focused technologies like the one presented.

Technology Description

The invention puts forward a method for initiating a secure communication session between client devices and server computers according to a specific communication protocol. This method involves passing communication through a proxy device along the communication path. Crucially, session initiation information gets transferred between the client devices and server computers via this proxy. The secure communication sessions, each quantified for exclusive access from a particular client device and server computer using the shared session initiation information, facilitate the transmission of encrypted content. The compelling feature that differentiates this technology is the proxy’s inability to access the content of the communication, reinforcing the security of the transmission. Furthermore, the proxy alters some information between a client device and a server computer, ensuring that communication from and to the server complies with the communication protocol. This approach offers robust, reliable secure communications in the face of escalating cybersecurity threats.
