Abstract

See full text

An apparatus and/or method secures session communications between a first network (having a first encryption device configured to encrypt at least some session communications from the first network to the second network) and a second network. The apparatus and/or method receive, at the first network, given session packets of a given session between the first and second networks, and determine that at least one of the received given session packets is encrypted (“encrypted given session packet”). The given session involves a Layer 7 application that encrypted the at least one encrypted given session packet. Next, the apparatus and/or method controls, in response to determining that the given session packet is encrypted, the first encryption device to permit communication of the given session with the second network without further encrypting a plurality of the encrypted given session packets. Preferably, the first encryption device encrypts none of the given session packets.
