Abstract

A device may transmit a packet for communicating via a tunnel. The packet may be associated with a protocol. The device may determine that the packet has been dropped by a security device. The device may selectively encrypt, after determining that the packet has been dropped, the packet using a null encryption for transport layer security (TLS) or a combination of encryption associated with the protocol and TLS encryption to generate an encrypted packet. The device may transmit the encrypted packet for communicating via the tunnel.
