Encryption vs. Inspection
summary
Research shows that authorized man‑in‑the‑middle systems including antivirus and corporate proxies measurably reduce TLS security, reintroducing downgrade and weak‑cipher failures; a field study documents Bluecoat proxies breaking TLS 1.3 during Chrome’s TLS 1.3 field test, stalling deployment. Adoption is already over 55% HTTPS and TLS 1.3 cuts handshake latency and removes unsafe options, but deployed inspection appliances prevent the new protocol from rolling out cleanly.
