Verify Encrypted Inspection Performance

Verifying encrypted traffic inspection requires a repeatable test environment that can generate Secure Sockets Layer and Transport Layer Security application sessions, control session concurrency, and measure encrypted throughput, connection rate, and inspection latency. The test setup places the security device inline between emulated clients and servers so engineers can observe how traffic decryption, inspection, policy enforcement, and forwarding behave as encrypted session load increases.

The workflow uses stateful Layer 2 through Layer 7 traffic profiles with Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure and other encrypted application flows to exercise the device under realistic operating conditions. Engineers configure application mixes, session ramp rates, cipher and key-size assumptions, and traffic direction, then compare throughput, concurrent flows, connection setup rates, and latency to determine where inspection capacity or policy behavior changes under load.

Encrypted Traffic Inspection Solution

Verifying encrypted traffic inspection requires generating stateful encrypted application traffic through the device under test while measuring throughput, concurrent sessions, connection rates, and latency. The solution uses Keysight PerfectStorm ONE with IxLoad and BreakingPoint-compatible workflows to emulate realistic application and security traffic in a compact appliance. PerfectStorm ONE supports Layer 2 through Layer 7 flow generation, hundreds of application profiles, and malware simulations, while its hardware encryption offload supports Internet Protocol Security and Secure Sockets Layer test scenarios. Engineers can use the platform to evaluate encrypted inspection behavior under controlled load before production deployment.
