Abstract:
In one embodiment, a distributed denial of service attack on a network is identified. In response to the distributed denial of service attack, a script to request a short term certificate is executed. The short term certificate is generated by a certificate server and received either directly or indirectly from the certificate server. An instruction to redirect traffic using the short term certificate and private key is sent to a distributed denial of service attack protection service that is operable to filter or otherwise mitigate malicious traffic involved in the distributed denial of service attack.

Claim (Index 10):
An apparatus for using a short term certificate during a distributed denial of service attack on a network, the apparatus comprising:\n a communication interface configured to receive a short term certificate for a public key and an associated private key for a protection service coupled with the network, wherein the short term certificate and associated private key is generated in response to, and at the time of, identifying the distributed denial of service attack, wherein the network is associated with a first certificate and wherein the short term certificate has a predetermined duration that is less than a duration of the first certificate; wherein a transport layer security record under domain name service (DNS) based authentication of named entities (DANE) is updated according to the short term certificate; and a DDoS protection controller associated with the protection service configured to:\n identify traffic for the network using the short term certificate and associated private key; \n filter malicious traffic involved in the distributed denial of service attack in response to the short term certificate; and \n provide the filtered traffic from the protection service to the network.
