Abstract:
1. A method in a proxy server, comprising: receiving a first secure session request from a first client device for a secure session, wherein the first secure session request is received at the proxy server as a result of a DNS (Domain Name System) request for a first domain resolving to the proxy server; participating in a secure session negotiation with the first client device including transmitting a digital certificate to the first client device, wherein the digital certificate is bound to the first domain and a set of one or more other domains; receiving a first encrypted request from the first client device for an action to be performed on a resource that is hosted at a first origin server corresponding to the first domain; decrypting the first encrypted request; participating in a secure session negotiation with the first origin server including receiving a digital certificate from the first origin server; encrypting the decrypted request using the received digital certificate from the first origin server; transmitting the encrypted request to the first origin server; receiving a second secure session request from a second client device for a secure session, wherein the second request is received at the proxy server as a result of a DNS request for a second domain resolving to the proxy server; participating in a secure session negotiation with the second client device including transmitting a digital certificate to the second client device that is bound with the second domain and a set of one or more other domains; receiving a second encrypted request from the second client device for an action to be performed on a resource that is hosted at a second origin server corresponding to the second domain; decrypting the second encrypted request; and transmitting the decrypted second request to the second origin server unencrypted.
