Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for automatically bypassing SSL connections responsive to client SSL handshake failures. Various embodiments include detecting a first failed client SSL connection, creating a cache entry including a traffic fingerprint of the first failed client SSL connection, and bypassing subsequent connections matching the cached fingerprint of the first failed client SSL connection. Embodiments further include cache entries that include a TTL, wherein connections can be matched to the entries during the configured TTL. The present systems and methods are provided to alleviate issues associated SSL traffic interruptions and breakdowns.

Abstract: A method implemented by a node in a cloud-based system includes responsive to monitoring a user device, detecting a request for encrypted traffic to a domain from the user device; checking if a domain certificate for the domain is available in cache; responsive to the domain certificate being in the cache, creating a first tunnel to the domain and a second tunnel to the user device; and, responsive to the domain certificate not being in the cache, generating the domain certificate with a cloud hardware security module (HSM) system, and creating the first tunnel and the second tunnel.
