Zusammenfassung:According to certain embodiments, a delivery manager (30) comprises an interface (510) and processing circuitry (520). The interface (510) is configured to receive a certificate that a DNS (40) associates with a DNS name of a first endpoint (20A). The processing circuitry (520) is configured to distribute the certificate to a second endpoint (20B). The second endpoint (20B) is configured to store the certificate in a local memory of the second endpoint (20B) and, in response to a future determination to establish a connection with the first endpoint (20A), use the certificate from the local memory of the second endpoint (20B) to establish transport layer security (TLS) for the connection.
