Abstract: A computer program product having a computer readable non-transitory storage medium. The storage medium having encoded thereon a computer code for instructing at least one hardware processor to automatically: (a) intercept a plurality of data packets transported over a computer network; (b) analyze said plurality of data packets to identify at least one secure connection request to an unsecure domain hosted on at least one web server; (c) retrieve a digital security certificate for the unsecure domain from a trusted certification authority; (d) associate the digital security certificate with the unsecure domain, thereby converting the unsecure domain to a secure domain; (e) send the digital security certificate to at least one second client terminal. Thereby the computer program product facilitates a secure connection between the at least one second client terminal and the secure domain.

Abstract: There is provided a method for automatically intercepting two or more data packets transported over a computer network, where the data packets originated from client terminal(s), and each data packet comprising transport layer security protocol message(s). The data packets are automatically analyzed to identify secure connection request(s) to an unsecure domain hosted on web server(s), where the secure connection request(s) was received from one or more of the client terminal(s). A digital security certificate is automatically retrieved for the unsecure domain from a trusted certification authority. The digital security certificate is automatically associated with the unsecure domain, thereby converting the unsecure domain to a secure domain. The digital security certificate is automatically sent to a second client terminal in response to a future secure connection request, thereby facilitating a secure connection between the second client terminal and the secure domain.
