Abstract
In response to receiving an unknown first session identifier from a client for a first communication session between the client and a server, a Man in the Middle (MitM) computer requests a second session identifier from the server for a second communication session between the server and the MitM computer. The MitM computer generates a third session identifier for a third communication session between the MitM computer and the client. The MitM computer generates a fourth communication session between the server and the client using a combination of the second communication session and the third communication session. In response to receiving an invalid session identifier from the client for a fifth communication session between the client and the server, the MitM computer transmits an instruction, to the client, to flush a session cache in the client to force a full TLS handshake between the client and the server.
