Abstract
In one embodiment, a method for classifying an encrypted flow includes receiving a plurality of packets associated with an encrypted flow traversing a network, collecting telemetry data from the flow without decrypting the flow, sending the telemetry data to a backend system for classification, using the telemetry data to classify the flow using a machine learning classifier, creating a classification response, and using the classification response to modify processing of the flow. In another embodiment, a method for classifying an encrypted flow includes receiving a plurality of packets associated with an encrypted flow traversing a network, collecting telemetry data from the first plurality of packets associated with the flow, sending the telemetry data to a backend system for classification, using the telemetry data to classify the flow using a machine learning classifier, and using the output of the classifier to modify processing of the flow.
