Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for utilizing predetermined encryption keys in a test simulation environment are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes generating, prior to an initiation of an Internet protocol security (IPsec) test session, a private key and a public key at a traffic emulation device and storing the private key and the public key in a local storage associated with the traffic emulation device. The method further includes retrieving, from the local storage, the private key and the public key upon the initiation of the IPsec test session between the traffic emulation device and a device under test (DUT) and generating a shared secret key utilizing the retrieved private key and a DUT public key received from the DUT.

Abstract: Methods and systems for reducing the size of a cryptographic key in a test simulation environment are disclosed. In one example, a method includes determining a minimum key size value and maximum key size value for a private cryptographic key for each of a plurality of key exchange value pairs and deriving, for each of the plurality of key exchange value pairs, a key sizing constant based on the minimum key size value and the maximum key size value. The method further includes storing each of the plurality of selected key exchange value pairs and associated key sizing constant in a data store, selecting a key exchange value pair to be applied to a test simulation session conducted between a first test simulation endpoint and a second test simulation endpoint, and generating a private cryptographic key based on the key sizing constant associated with the selected key exchange value pair.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media utilizing metadata to detect UDP traffic loss in a test environment are disclosed. In one example, the method includes generating, at a user datagram protocol (UDP) traffic generation module, a plurality of UDP packets associated with a UDP stream, wherein origination information corresponding to the UDP traffic generation module is included in a payload in each of the plurality of UDP packets and receiving, at a UDP traffic receiver module, at least one of the plurality of UDP packets associated with the UDP stream. The method also includes transmitting, from the UDP traffic receiver module to the UDP traffic generation module, recipient information that identifies the UDP traffic receiver module as the receiver of the UDP stream and receiving, at the UDP traffic receiver module via a lossless environment, stream verification metrics from the UDP traffic generation module.
