Abstract
A proxy server may receive from a user endpoint, a secure connection request to a second server. The secure connection request may comprise a globally unique identifier registered for the endpoint. The proxy server may intercept, from the user endpoint, a first secure handshake with the second server. The proxy server may initiate a second secure handshake with the second server based on the intercepted first secure handshake. The proxy server may intercept from the second server a second secure handshake response comprising a server certificate with metadata. The proxy server may generate a second certificate using the metadata and signed with a first certificate authority associated with the globally unique identifier registered for the endpoint. The proxy server may transmit to the user endpoint a modified response to the secure connection request secured with the second certificate to establish a proxied secure connection.
