Abstract
A host computer system is categorized according to uniform resource locator (URL) information extracted from a digital certificate purportedly associated with said host. Thereafter, a secure communication session (e.g., an SSL session) with said host may be granted or denied according to results of the categorizing. If granted, messages associated with the secure session may be tunneled through a proxy without decryption, or, in some cases, even though the secure communication session was authorized messages may be decrypted at the proxy.
