Abstract
Embodiments can provide a computer implemented method in a data processing system comprising a processor and a memory comprising instructions, which are executed by the processor to cause the processor to implement a system for transforming a Channel ID communication, the method comprising: generating, by a SSL/TLS inspector, a secret; receiving, from a client, a Channel ID communication comprising a public key value; deriving, by the SSL/TLS inspector, a random seed value for a private key using the secret and the public key value of the Channel ID communication; generating, by the SSL/TLS inspector, a new private key based upon the random seed value; deriving, by the SSL/TLS inspector, a new public key based upon the new private key; generating, by the SSL/TLS inspector, a transformed Channel ID communication based upon the new private key and the new public key; and forwarding, by the SSL/TLS inspector, the transformed Channel ID communication to a server.
