ABSTRACT:
A method and system for identifying sessions in a computer network is disclosed. The session is between a first computer system and a second computer system. The session consists of an exchange of a plurality of packets between the computer systems. Each of the packets includes source information and destination information relating to the first computer system and the second computer system. The method and system include providing a symmetric key and identifying the session using the symmetric key. The symmetric key is provided utilizing a manipulation of the source information and the destination information. The symmetric key is associated with the plurality of packets traveling between the first computer system and the second computer system.
