Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method for monitoring encrypted data transmission may include (1) detecting a data transmission session between an application running on a first device and an application running on a second device, (2) identifying a shared library loaded by the application running on the first device to establish encryption for the data transmission session, (3) retrieving, from the shared library, a symmetric session key designated for the data transmission session, (4) intercepting data transmitted during the data transmission session, the data having been encrypted using the symmetric session key, and (5) decrypting the data utilizing the symmetric session key retrieved from the shared library. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
