Abstract

Systems and methods for inline security protocol inspection are provided. According to one embodiment, a security device receives an encrypted raw packet from a first network appliance and buffers the encrypted raw packet in a buffer. An inspection module accesses the encrypted raw packet from the buffer, decrypts the encrypted raw packet to produce a plain text and scans the plain text by the inspection module.
