Nonrepudiation - in some sense

[leichter_jerrold at emc.com]

>From a description of the Imperva "SecureSphere" technology.  Imperva makes 
firewalls that can "look inside" SSL sessions:

 	SSL Security that Maintains Non-Repudiation

 	SecureSphere can inspect the contents of both HTTP and HTTPS
 	(SSL) traffic.  SecureSphere delivers higher HTTPS performance
 	than competing reverse proxy point solutions because
 	SecureSphere decrypts SSL encrypted traffic but does not
 	terminate it. Therefore SecureSphere simply passes the encrypted
 	packets unchanged to the application or database server. This
 	eliminates the overhead of re-packaging (i.e. changing) the
 	communications, re-negotiating a new SSL connection to the
 	server, and re-encrypting the information. Moreover, it
 	maintains the non-repudiation of transactions since the
 	encrypted communication is between client and application with
 	no proxy acting as middleman.
