HTTPS Decryption¶

HTTPS Decryption is the process used by network proxy tools, such as Fiddler Classic, to intercept, read, and analyze encrypted HTTPS traffic.^[600-developer__tools__mobile__Fiddler-Classic.md]

Configuration¶

To enable HTTPS decryption in tools like Fiddler, specific decryption settings must be enabled within the application's interface.^[600-developer__tools__mobile__Fiddler-Classic.md] Once enabled, the tool acts as a man-in-the-middle, requiring the client (such as a mobile device or browser) to trust the proxy's credentials.

Certificate Installation¶

A crucial step in the decryption workflow is the installation of the CA Root Certificate.^[600-developer__tools__mobile__Fiddler-Classic.md] The user must install the certificate provided by the proxy tool onto the client device.^[600-developer__tools__mobile__Fiddler-Classic.md]

This step allows the device to trust the connection, ensuring that the encrypted traffic between the client and the server can be successfully decrypted and inspected by the tool.^[600-developer__tools__mobile__Fiddler-Classic.md]
