  • Methods for facilitating secure connections for an operating system kernel and devices thereof
    Patent number: 11025728
    Abstract: A method, non-transitory computer readable medium and local storage node computing device that establishes a first connection between a first endpoint in a kernel of an operating system and a second endpoint. A proxy application in a user space is invoked and a second connection is established from the operating system kernel to the proxy application. The proxy application is linked to a secure protocol implementation. Handshake messages are proxied between the second endpoint and the proxy application using the first and second connections. Security parameters for the first connection and determined from the handshake messages are sent from the proxy application to the operating system kernel via the second connection. Data is exchanged between the first endpoint in the operating system kernel and the second endpoint using the first connection and the security parameters.
