Abstract
The present invention provides the initiation of a transport layer security (TLS) session between a client device and a server using a firewall without interruption. The present invention holds a TLS hello message received from the client device until after the server has been validated. A firewall consistent with the present invention does not interrupt a transport layer control (TCP) connection that was established between the client device and the firewall before the TLS hello message was received by the firewall.
