[mdlug] decrypting ssl connections on the fly?

[Carl T. Miller]

Secure Computing is a company that makes several products to
filter Internet connections.  This makes sense for a company
that doesn't want inappropriate content on their network.

What caught my eye is that they now claim they can decrypt
ssl content and filter it the same as they do with unencrypted
content.  I thought that the whole point of ssl is that
securely encrypts data between the two endpoints.

Am I missing something or is this claim not right?

Secure Content Management (SCM) Suite, efficiently decrypts all inbound
and outbound SSL traffic at the gateway, applies multiple anti-virus and
content scanners, and then re-encrypts the content and directs it to the
intended recipient.
