Abstract: One method occurs at a test system controller of a network test system implemented using at least one processor. The method includes establishing agent association criteria for a test system traffic generation agent to be deployed in a cloud computing system under test (SUT) and receiving a registration message from the test system traffic generation agent in response to a launching of the test system traffic generation agent in the cloud computing SUT. The method further includes obtaining agent property values associated with the one test system traffic generation agent from the registration message and sending test configuration data to the test system traffic generation agent in response to determining a match between the agent property values and the agent association criteria, wherein the test configuration data configures the test system traffic generation agent to operate as a predefined network segment in the cloud computing SUT.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for monitoring encrypted packet communications are disclosed. According to one method executed at an encryption aware visibility (EAV) device, the method includes receiving copies of encrypted network traffic flow records belonging to at least one communication session involving a monitored application and obtaining, from a secure session management (SSM) server, session decryption information (SDI) via a secure backchannel interface connection, wherein the session decryption information includes cryptographic keys generated by the SSM server to establish the at least one communication session. The method further includes using the cryptographic keys to decrypt the copies of encrypted network traffic flow records to produce decrypted network traffic flow records.
