Nimbostratusencryption of tcp connection
Hello,
is it possible to encrypt tcp connection via irules.
I've seen an iRule for tls smtp encryption but I couldn't be sure if it can be for all tcp connections?
thanks.
beginner_66398Hi,
I want to explain my question a bit. We use an application which establishes tcp connections for all transactions. Now some part of data is encrypted at client side by an algorithm and decrypted at the server side. I wonder can LTM encrypt/decrypt via irules instaed of server.- Hamish

What sort of encryption is used? If it's simply a TLS connection that steps up the encryption, then hat should be fine. However if it's specific content that's encrypted, then you'd be limited to an AES encryption/decryption of the content (But would need somewhere to store the key - a class maybe).
Short answer is 'maybe'. But you'd need to prove a lot more info on this protocol... - beginner_66398It is not tls connection. A programme is used to encrypt and compress the data via Huffman algorithm. I wonder if we can customize this programme as an irule for tcp connections.
- beginner_66398thanks a lot for reply
