Abstract: Techniques related to virtual encryption patching are described. A security gateway includes multiple Transport Layer Security Implementations (TLSI) that can be used for creating secure communications channels to carry application-layer traffic between one or more clients and one or more server applications. In some embodiments, upon determining that one of the multiple TLSIs contains a security vulnerability, that TLSI can be disabled, leaving one or more others of the multiple TLSIs enabled and available to be used to carry traffic of new connections between the clients and server applications.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a transparent security gateway is coupled between a client end station (CES) and a web application server (WAS). The security gateway monitors an encryption protocol handshake between the CES and the WAS to capture, using a provided private key of the WAS, a generated symmetric key to be used for an encryption layer connection. Using the captured symmetric key, the security gateway receives an encrypted connection record of the encryption layer connection, decrypts the encrypted connection record to yield a plaintext connection record, modifies the plaintext connection record, encrypts the modified plaintext connection record using the symmetric key, and transmits one or more packets carrying the encrypted modification plaintext connection record instead of the received encrypted connection record such that neither the CES or WAS is aware of the modification of the encrypted data.
