SECURE HANDLING OF SECURE SOCKET LAYER ("SSL") TRAFFIC

摘要

The subject matter described herein includes methods, systems, and computer program products for using an optimization server located between a client mobile communications device and a content server for selectively optimizing traffic transmitted between the content server and the mobile device in an encrypted, decoded form. According to one method, a trusted component is established in a client mobile communications device by processing encrypted data in decoded form using the trusted component. Criteria is provided for determining mobile communications traffic to be optimized. A request for transmitting mobile communications traffic from a content server to a client mobile device is detected. It is determined whether the criteria is satisfied for the detected mobile communications traffic. In response to determining that the criteria is satisfied, a secure connection is established, via an optimization server, between a trusted component of the client mobile device and the content server.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
establishing a trusted component in a client mobile communications device by processing encrypted data in decoded form using the trusted component; providing criteria for determining mobile communications traffic to be optimized; detecting a request for transmitting mobile communications traffic from a content server to a client mobile device; determining whether the criteria is satisfied for the detected mobile communications traffic; in response to determining that the criteria is satisfied, establishing a secure connection between the trusted component of the client mobile communications device and the content server via an optimization server; authenticating the optimization server to the trusted component of the client mobile device; sharing, by the trusted component, information used by the optimization server for encrypting and decrypting the traffic with the content server; and optimizing, by the optimization server, the mobile communications traffic by applying one or more optimization algorithms to the mobile communications traffic.
