Abstract

See full text

A network device initiates a transmission control protocol (TCP) connection to establish a TCP session with a management device, and performs, via the TCP session, a secure protocol client/server role reversal for the management device. The network device receives, from the management device, initiation of a secure connection over the TCP session in accordance with a secure protocol, and provides, to the management device, a trusted certificate with an embedded host key that is dynamically generated using a cryptographic processor of the network device, based on the initiation of the secure connection. The network device also establishes the secure connection with the management device based on an authentication of the host key by the management device via the trusted certificate.
