Abstract
Systems and methods for using certificate authority certificates inline as part of a file transfer protocol are described. A backup system may receive a request from a client system for a first secure communications channel secured with a previously-shared encryption key. The backup system may transmit a message via the first secure communications channel that indicates that the backup system is one-way CA certificate encryption capable. In response to the message, the client system may transmit a query to create a second secure communications channel. The backup system may then transmit, via the first secure communications channel, the one-way CA certificate to the client system. Once the client system has been configured for CA certificate-based communication, the second secure communications channel may be established. The client system may then transmit, via the second secure communications channel, encrypted client data for storage on the backup server.
