Abstract

In an embodiment, a method is provided for enabling in-band data exchange between networks. The method can comprise receiving, by a first enveloping proxy located in the first network, at least one regular secure sockets layer (SSL) record for a SSL session established between a client and a server; receiving the data from a network element located in the first network; encoding the data into at least one custom SSL record; and transmitting the at least one regular SSL record and the at least one custom SSL record to an enveloping proxy. In another embodiment, a method can comprise receiving at least one regular secure sockets layer (SSL) record and at least one custom SSL record for a SSL session established between a client and a server; extracting the data from the at least one custom SSL; transmitting the at least one regular SSL record.
