Abstract
A system, method and apparatus for network security monitoring, information sharing and collective intelligence between and among at least a first central processing unit and at least a second central processing unit connected together by a network. The system includes a network interface device with hardware-based logic for recognizing and cataloging individual sessions, wherein the network interface card is in communication with the network. The network interface device includes onboard cryptographic key management components with symmetric key algorithms, an onboard packet encryption software module using derived keys to encrypt network packets, and software for storing encrypted copies of network packets as blocks. Third party analyst hardware and software derive keys necessary to retrieve encrypted network packets.
