Abstract

A server receives a request from a client to establish a secure session. The server analyzes the request to determine a set of one or more properties of the request. The server selects, based at least in part on the determined set of properties, one of multiple certificates for a hostname of the server, where each of the certificates is signed using a different signature and hash algorithm pair. The server returns the selected certificate to the client.
