Monitoring encrypted communication sessions
Abstract:
A method for monitoring encrypted communication sessions between computing devices includes intercepting messages of a handshaking procedure between a client and a server device, the handshaking procedure establishing an encrypted communication session between the client and server. The method further includes determining, from the messages, a session context for the encrypted session and an identifier associated with the session context. The method further includes storing the session context in a database indexed by the identifier. The method further includes intercepting, subsequent to the storing, second messages of a second handshaking procedure between the client and a second server device, the where second handshaking procedure resumes the encrypted communication session after an interruption. The method additionally includes determining that the second messages includes the identifier associated with the session context, retrieving, from the database, the session context using the identifier, and monitoring the resumed encrypted communication session using the session context.
