METHOD, SYSTEM AND APPARATUS FOR INLINE DECRYPTION ANALYSIS AND DETECTION

Abstract:

The disclosure generally relates method, system and apparatus to expedite processing of packet data through a network endpoint. In one embodiment, the disclosure relates to an Inline Security Engine (ISE) which may be deployed at network's edge, for example, at a network interface card or a network adaptor. The exemplary ISE may be configured to receive and analyze packets traversing through the endpoint device for compliance with the encryption protocols and other network requirements. Additionally, the ISE may implement steps to increase security of the data if the analysis suggests that the encryption may be weak or faulty or if certain predefined security rules are violated. All processes are implemented inline and at line speed without diminishing the data rate.
