Abstract
An in-band decryptor and scanner (IBDS) for monitoring data packets or frames of an encrypted communication session. The IBDS may reroute or process the data packets or frames prior to reaching their destination. The IBDS may be used to decrease the load on a server by decrypting, preprocessing or rerouting the incoming data without altering the endpoints of the encrypted communication session from the server and a client.
