Supporting Safe Content-Inspection of Web Traffic

Abstract

Interception of software interaction for the purpose of introducing additional functionality or alternative behavior is a well-known software engineering technique that has been used successfully for various reasons, including security. Software wrappers, firewalls, Web proxies, and a number of middleware constructs all depend on interception to achieve their respective security, fault tolerance, interoperability, or load balancing objectives. Web proxies, as used by organizations to monitor and secure Web traffic into and out of their internal networks, provide another important example.
