More Information
Summary:The disclosure is directed to a system for improving security of SSL communications. The system can include an device intermediary between one or more servers, one or more clients, a plurality of agents, and a web service. The servers can be configured to receive SSL connections and issue SSL certificates. The device can include a virtual server associated with a respective one of the servers, such that the SSL certificate of the respective server is transmitted through the device. The device can generate service fingerprints for the one or more servers. Each service fingerprint can include information corresponding to an SSL certificate of the virtual server, one or more DNS aliases for a virtual IP address of the respective virtual server, one or more port numbers serving the SSL certificate, and an IP address serviced by the device. The device also can transmit the service fingerprints to a web service.
