    Abstract: Techniques and architecture are described for eliminating double encryption in zero-trust network access authenticated sessions. The techniques include an endpoint client-based proxy of a network receiving, from a browser, a request to access a protected private service. The endpoint client-based proxy pauses access of the browser to the protected private service and establishes a transport layer security (TLS) connection between the endpoint client-based proxy and a zero-trust network access (ZTNA) gateway. The ZTNA gateway determines whether the protected private service uses a secure transport mechanism and establishes either a null cipher encrypted tunnel between at least the endpoint client-based proxy and the ZTNA gateway or a non-null cipher encrypted tunnel between at least the endpoint client-based proxy and the ZTNA gateway. The endpoint client-based proxy resumes access of the browser to the protected private service.
