METHOD FOR SECURELY NEGOTIATING END-TO-END CRYPTOGRAPHIC CONTEXT USING INLINE MESSAGES THROUGH MULTIPLE PROXIES IN CLOUD AND CUSTOMER ENVIRONMENT

摘要

Described embodiments provide systems and methods for establishing an end-to-end cryptographic context. A service node may be located intermediary between a client and server which provides a service to the client. At least one network device may be located intermediary between the service node and the server. The service node may obtain information for validating the service. The service node may establish an end-to-end cryptographic context between the service node and server through the network device(s). A first network device of the network device(s) may share a cryptographic context with the service node, which existed prior to establishment of the end-to-end cryptographic context. The service node may transmit a message to the network device encrypted using the first cryptographic context. The encrypted message may inform the first network device to pass through traffic that is encrypted using the end-to-end cryptographic context.
