Managing Intelligent Decryption

Intelligent Decryption is designed to bypass HTTPS decryption for application-based HTTPS traffic. You can use Intelligent Decryption settings within an HTTPS decryption rule to better manage decryption of application traffic over specific browsers.

Important

You must enable Intelligent Decryption in the decryption rule for which you want Intelligent Decryption functionality to apply.

Deep Discovery Web Inspector includes a list of built-in intelligent decryption patterns that correspond to a combination of common browsers and operating systems. By default, traffic from all built-in patterns are decrypted. You can change the status for any pattern from "Decrypt" to "Do Not Decrypt" or you can rename the pattern.

You can detect and add custom patterns to the Defined Patterns list or delete custom patterns when they are no longer needed.

Note

For traffic that matches an HTTPS decryption rule with Intelligent Decryption enabled: All the patterns with status Decrypt are decrypted and subject to the configured Deep Discovery Web Inspector policy rules for subsequent inspection. All patterns with status Do Not Decrypt are not decrypted.

The Intelligent Decryption screen is divided into two sections:

Detect and Add Pattern: Where you can detect and add custom patterns to the defined intelligent decryption pattern list
Defined Patterns: Contains the list of built-in decryption patterns provided by Deep Discovery Web Inspector and custom patterns added by an administrator

Go to Policy → Intelligent Decryption to perform the following:

Procedure

Detect a custom pattern and add a custom pattern to the Defined Patterns list.

Adding a Custom Pattern for Intelligent Decryption
View the Defined Patterns list.
Configure what action to take for traffic that matches a selected pattern: Decrypt or Do Not Decrypt.

The default is Decrypt.
Select a pattern and edit the pattern name.
Select a custom pattern and click Delete if the pattern is no longer needed.

You cannot delete built-in patterns.
