Abstract
An implementation of the disclosure provides an apparatus comprising: a memory to store a plurality of handshake responses to authenticate client communications; and a processing device, operatively coupled to the memory, to: receive a handshake request from a client device The handshake request comprising an identifier of a communication protocol supported by the client device. A secure layer extension is extracted from the identifier of the communication protocol. Identify, in view of the communication protocol, a handshake response for the client device. The handshake response is modified to include information associated with the secure layer extension. Update a data structure with a hash value generated in view of the modified handshake response. Thereupon, forward the modified handshake response and the hash value to the client device.
