Abstract
In one embodiment, a proxy device located between a first device and a second device intercepts a security session request for a security session between the first device and the second device. The proxy device obtains security information from the first device that includes at least a subject name of the first device. The proxy device creates a dynamic certificate using the subject name of the first device and a trusted proxy certificate of the proxy device. The proxy device establishes a security session between the proxy device and the second device using the dynamic certificate. Further, the proxy device establishes a security session between the first device and the proxy device using the trusted proxy certificate of the proxy device. The two security sessions collectively operate as a security session between the first device and the second device.
