Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for requesting, at a service configured on a server, a public key infrastructure (PKI) generated certificate using a PKI agent, where the PKI agent stores a private key and the generated certificate in a key management service (KMS). An application layer security controller communicatively coupled to the server registers the service to enable the application layer to inspect packets. The PKI agent transmits version information for the certificates to the application layer security controller, and the PKI agent updates the certificates and keys in the KMS. The service and an application layer datapath component change the routing of packets using an overlay network and inspect at least one of the packets. The application layer datapath component decapsulates at least one packet by using the private keys and certificates retrieved from the KMS, and performs application inspection of the decapsulated packet.
