Abstract
A relay-proxy device has first and second interfaces allowing connection to a first node and a second node respectively, wherein the relay-proxy device is configured with at least one key, and the relay-proxy device is operable to: receive a traffic flow in an encrypted transport protocol on the first interface; decrypt a first part of the traffic flow with said key, wherein a second part of the traffic flow cannot be decrypted with said key; perform a management function based on a content of the decrypted first part of the traffic flow; and forward at least the second part of the encrypted traffic flow to the second interface.
