Abstract
Embodiments are direct to monitoring communication between computers may be using network monitoring computers (NMCs). Network packets that are communicated between the computers may be captured and stored in a data store. If the NMCs identify a secure communication session established between two computers, the NMCs may obtain key information that corresponds to the secure communication session that includes a session key that may be provided by a key provider. Correlation information associated with the secure communication session may be captured by the NMCs. The correlation information may include tuple information associated with the secure communication session. And, the key information and the correlation information may be stored in a key escrow. The key information may be indexed in the key escrow using the correlation information.
