US Patent 10063591 Implementing and optimizing secure socket layer intercept

Provided are methods and systems for intercepting encrypted data packets. A system for intercepting encrypted data packets may comprise a first device, a second device, and a monitoring device. The first device may be operable to intercept at least one encrypted data packet. The first device may be further operable to decrypt the at least one encrypted packet to produce at least one decrypted data packet. The first device may provide the at least one decrypted data packet to the monitoring device. The monitoring device may be operable to inspect the at least one decrypted data packet based on predetermined criteria. The second device may be operable to receive, from the monitoring device, the at least one decrypted data packet. The second device may be further operable to re-encrypt the at least one decrypted data packet to produce the at least one encrypted data packet.
