Abstract
A secure layer extensions unit identifies a secure layer extension identifier associated with a communication protocol supported by a client device; receives, from a secure sockets layer (SSL) engine, a handshake communication in view of the communication protocol, wherein the handshake communication excludes the secure layer extension identifier; generates a modified handshake communication for the client device that includes the secure layer extension identifier in view of the communication protocol; and forwards the modified handshake communication to the client device.
