SSL: Addressing Data Security in Application Performance Testing

Federal organizations alike expend great effort to ensure the security and integrity of their digital data. When it comes to application testing and the ability to ensure applications will perform when deployed to the real-world, it is necessary to bring real-world conditions into the test lab. But, how can this be done with confidence in data security? When we talk about bringing real-world conditions into the lab, there is a requirement to capture production network conditions, to emulate those conditions in the lab, and be able to decrypt data for analysis and reporting in the lab.

With over a decade of experience helping federal, state and local agencies address application and infrastructure performance concerns, Shunra has gained unique insight into the challenges of securely emulating real-world conditions in the test lab. Shunra’s NetworkCatcher captures real-world network conditions in secure environments by allowing SSL connections to be made via a public-private key pair. The public key is shared with the NetworkCatcher agent but the private key remains securely on the server. In the most recent edition of PerformanceSuite, Shunra introduced SSL support within the test lab. PerformanceSuite employs a private key that enables decryption and analysis of test traffic in the lab.

Federal and civilian organizations now have a way to securely discover real-world network conditions, emulate those conditions in the test lab, and analyze traffic down to the sub-component level for performance troubleshooting and optimization.
