Abstract
A method for operating a secure man-in-the-middle proxy includes intercepting an attempt to establish a connection between an application and a network server associated with a whitelisted hostname, establishing a secure connection to the network server, checking the secure connection against the stored combination of certificate, encryption protocol, and encryption cipher for the whitelisted hostname, and forwarding traffic between the application and the network server at the whitelisted hostname if the secure connection matches the stored combination of certificate, encryption protocol, and encryption cipher for the whitelisted hostname.
