Abstract

See full text

A security system providing methodology for cooperative enforcement of security policies during SSL sessions is described. In one embodiment, for example, a method is described for controlling SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) communication, the method comprises steps of: defining rules indicating conditions under which a machine is permitted to participate in an SSL session; trapping an attempt by a particular application running on the machine to participate in an SSL session, by intercepting the particular application's attempt to provide authentication; determining whether the machine complies with the rules; allowing the attempt to succeed when the machine complies with the rules; and otherwise blocking the attempt when the machine does not comply with the rules.
