Assessment of Deep Packet Inspection System of Network traffic and Anomaly Detection

Abstract

Deep packet SSL inspection is a process that involves decrypting and inspecting SSL encrypted network traffic in order to detect and prevent security threats. With the increasing use of SSL encryption, it has become difficult for traditional network security solutions to inspect encrypted traffic for threats. Deep packet SSL inspection addresses this problem by decrypting the SSL traffic, inspecting it for threats, and then re-encrypting it before forwarding it to its destination. This process involves the use of SSL certificates that mimic the real ones used by the servers, as well as SSL inspection rules that specify which traffic should be decrypted and inspected. Deep packet SSL inspection can be a complex and resource- intensive process, and must be performed carefully to avoid legal or ethical issues related to the interception and inspection of encrypted traffic. However, it is a powerful tool for protecting networks from security threats, and can help organizations detect and prevent attacks that would otherwise go unnoticed.
