Abstract
This disclosure provides for a network element (in the middle) to inject enrichments into SSL connections, and for taking them out. This network element is sometimes referred to herein as a “middle box.” In the context of layered software architecture, this solution preferably is implemented by a library that operates below the SSL layer and above the TCP sockets layer at the two endpoints of the SSL connection. Preferably, the SSL enrichments are implemented as SSL/TLS records.
