Method and system for detecting and mitigating attacks performed using cryptographic protocols

A system for detecting and mitigating attacks performed using a cryptographic protocol, comprising:

• a processing unit;
• a memory containing instructions that, when executed by the processing unit, configure the system to:
• upon receiving an indication about a potential attack, establishing an encrypted connection with the client using the cryptographic protocol;
• receiving an inbound traffic from a client, wherein the inbound traffic is originally directed to a protected entity;
• analyzing application layer attributes of only the inbound traffic received on the encrypted connection to detect at least one encrypted attack;
• and
• causing to establish a new encrypted connection between the client and the protected entity, if the at least one encrypted attack at the application layer has not been detected.
