Abstract
Methods and systems for managing encrypted network traffic using spoofed addresses. One example method includes receiving a request to resolve a domain name; determining that the domain name is included in a predetermined set of domain names; associating a spoofed address with the domain name; sending a response to the request to resolve the domain name including the spoofed address; receiving a secure request for a resource, the secure request directed to the spoofed address; identifying a user identity associated with the secure request; determining that the secure request is directed to the domain name based on the association between the spoofed address and the domain name; and selectively decrypting and/or blocking the secure request based at least in part on determining that the secure request is directed to the domain name and based at least in part on the user identity associated with the secure request.
