Abstract
A network-based appliance includes a mechanism to enable the appliance to extract itself from man-in-the-middle (MITM) processing during a client-server handshake and without interrupting that connection. The mechanism enables the appliance to decide (e.g., based on a rule match against a received server certificate) to stop performing MITM during the handshake and thus to de-insert itself transparently, i.e., without interfering or signaling to either end of the session that this operation is occurring. Once the connection is abandoned in the manner, the appliance ignores additional traffic flow and thus can free up processing resources (CPU, memory, and the like) that would otherwise be required to decrypt the connection (even if no further inspection or rewrite processing would be expected to occur).
