Identifying and Maintaining Secure Communications

摘要

In one embodiment, a system for managing secure communications includes an interface that may receive communication between a first endpoint and a second endpoint. A processor may identify a security certificate included in the communication and determine whether the identified security certificate has previously been stored in a certificate database. If the security certificate has not been previously stored in a certificate database, the processor may store the identified security certificate in the certificate database. The processor may also analyze parameters of the identified security certificate including a host device using the certificate, a network administrator responsible for the host device, an expiration date of the security certificate, and a certification authority issuing the security certificate.

1. A system for managing secure communications, comprising:
an interface operable to:
receive a communication between a first endpoint and a second endpoint; a processor communicatively coupled to the interface and operable to:
identify a security certificate included in the communication;analyze parameters of the identified security certificate, wherein the parameters comprise:
a host device using the security certificate;a network administrator responsible for the host device;an expiration date of the security certificate; anda certification authority issuing the security certificate;determine whether the identified security certificate has previously been stored in a certificate database; andin response to determining that the identified security certificate has not been previously stored in a certificate database, store the identified security certificate in the certificate database.
