TLS protocol extension

1. A method for extending a handshake communication between a communication device and an application server, comprising:

receiving, at the application server in an Internet Protocol network, at least two messages from the communication device, each message comprising a handshake index;

triggering, at the application server, a handshake session with the communication device to negotiate a set of cryptographic parameters;

for each handshake index of the at least two messages received, storing, at the application server, one or more cryptographic parameters of the negotiated set of cryptographic parameters with a corresponding connection state index that depends on an associated handshake index, wherein the corresponding connection state index is a single byte contained in a protocol message field;

activating, at the application server, the one or more cryptographic parameters of the negotiated set of cryptographic parameters stored with a lowest connection state index to establish a secured connection with only one port of the communication device, depending on a confidentiality of data to be transmitted;

receiving, at the application server, a connection state from the communication device; and

switching, at the application server, a security context that corresponds to the received connection state by activating the one or more cryptographic parameters of the negotiated set of cryptographic parameters stored with a corresponding connection state index in correspondence with the received connection state.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the at least two messages are “ClientHello” messages.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the set of cryptographic parameters includes a compression type, an encryption type, and a message authentication code algorithm.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein each of the handshake index is a number coded on one byte, from 0 to 255, in a dedicated field.

5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising aborting, at the application server, a handshake negotiation when receiving a message with an illegal handshake index.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the communication device comprises one of a mobile phone, a landline phone, or a computer.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the secured connection is encrypted and decrypted by the one or more cryptographic parameters of the negotiated set of cryptographic parameters.

8. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising adapting a security level to the data transmitted at any time during the secured connection.

9. A server for extending a handshake communication between a communication device and the server, comprising:

a hardware processor; and

a memory, wherein the memory is configured to store therein executable instructions that when executed by the processor, causes the processor to:

receive at least two messages from the communication device, each message comprising a handshake index;

trigger a handshake session with the communication device to negotiate a set of cryptographic parameters;

store one or more cryptographic parameters of the negotiated set of cryptographic parameters with a corresponding connection state index for each handshake index of the at least two messages received, wherein the corresponding connection state index is a single byte contained in a protocol message field;

activate the one or more cryptographic parameters of the negotiated set of cryptographic parameters stored with a lowest connection state index to establish a secured connection with only one port of the communication device, depending on a confidentiality of data to be transmitted;

receive a connection state from the communication device; and

switch a security context that corresponds to the received connection state by activating the one or more cryptographic parameters of the negotiated set of cryptographic parameters stored with a corresponding connection state index in correspondence with the received connection state.

10. A non-transitory computer information medium storing computer executable instructions for performing the steps of:

receiving, at an application server in an Internet Protocol network, at least two messages from a communication device, each message comprising a handshake index;

triggering, at the application server, a handshake session with the communication device to negotiate a set of cryptographic parameters;

for each handshake index of the at least two messages received, storing, at the application server, one or more cryptographic parameters of the negotiated set of cryptographic parameters with a corresponding connection state index that depends on an associated handshake index, wherein the connection state index is a single byte contained in a protocol message field;

activating, at the application server, the one or more cryptographic parameters of the negotiated set of cryptographic parameters stored with a lowest connection state index to establish a secured connection with only one port of the communication device, depending on a confidentiality of data to be transmitted;

receiving, at the application server, a connection state from the communication device; and

switching, at the application server, a security context that corresponds to the received connection state by activating the one or more cryptographic parameters of the negotiated set of cryptographic parameters stored with a corresponding connection state index in correspondence with the received connection state.
