Abstract

See full text

An approach for reutilizing transport layer security (TLS) connections among separate application is provided. In one aspect, a computing system establishes a a transmission control program/Internet protocol (TCP/IP) connection between a first application of a first endpoint and a second application on a second endpoint. The computing system further performs a TLS handshake over the established TCP/IP connection. The computing system also transmits a request from a third application of the second endpoint to transfer a TLS context from the second application on the second endpoint. In response to the second application on the second endpoint accepting the transfer request, the second application utilizing via the one or more computer processors, a predetermined method of providing a TLS context to the third application, wherein the third application of the second endpoint and the first application of the first endpoint communicate securely.
