Abstract: Context information of a handshake between a source entity and a target entity is obtained at a security proxy. The context information is transmitted from the security proxy to a key manager. The key manager maintains a first private key of the security proxy. A first handshake message is received from the key manager. The first handshake message is generated at least based on the context information and signed with the first private key. The first handshake message is then transmitted to the target entity.

Abstract: A method, a computer program product, and a system for implementing a dynamic virtual database honeypot. The method includes relaying a query request received from a database client to a database and receiving, from the database, a response relating to the query request. The method also includes determining the query request is an attack on the database based on session information relating to the database and the database client, generating a honey token based on information contained within the response, generating an alternate response formatted in a same format as the response and containing artificial information that masks the information contained within the response. The method further includes inserting the honey token into the alternate response and transmitting the alternate response to the database client.
