Dynamic selection of security protocol

A client device comprising:

• a memory;
• at least one processor;
• and
• a component stored in the memory and executing on the at least one processor to:
• attempt to establish a secure connection between the client device and a server using a first security protocol that supports False Start;
• determine whether the secure connection was successfully established using the first security protocol;
• based on a determination that the secure connection was not successfully established using the first security protocol, store information on the client device identifying the server as not supporting False Start, wherein the information is stored on the client in a database that stores one or more domains identified as not supporting False Start;
• and
• re-attempt to establish the secure connection between the client device and the server using a second security protocol that does not support False Start.

A computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by a client device, comprising at least one instruction for:

• attempting to establish a secure connection between a client and a server using a first security protocol;
• determining whether the secure connection was successfully established using the first security protocol;
• based on a determination that the secure connection was not successfully established using the first security protocol, storing information on the client identifying the server as not supporting the first security protocol, wherein the information is stored on the client in a database that stores one or more domains identified as not supporting the first security protocol;
• and
• attempting to establish the secure connection between the client and the server using a second security protocol.
