An increasing number of antiviruses and network appliances intercept TLS connections to gain visibility into encrypted traffic, but in many cases this weakens connection security and introduces vulnerabilities, according to a new study.
The study, focusing on the security impact of HTTPS interception, was carried out last summer by researchers at Mozilla, Google, CloudFlare, the University of Michigan, the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, the University of California Berkeley, and the International Computer Science Institute.
Experts have analyzed the TLS handshakes associated with web browsers, security products and malware, and created a set of heuristics designed to allow web servers to detect HTTPS interception and identify the product responsible.
