Explanation

SSL Inbound Inspection (A) and SSL Forward Proxy (B) are core PAN-OS decryption capabilities included with the base platform - they do not require additional licensing. In contrast, Decryption Mirror (C) requires a separate license; it enables the firewall to copy decrypted traffic to a network tap or security device (such as a DLP tool or forensic recorder) for out-of-band inspection. Decryption Broker (D) also requires an additional license; it allows the firewall to forward decrypted traffic to third-party inline security devices (such as a next-gen IPS or DLP appliance) before re-encrypting and forwarding to the destination. Both of these advanced decryption capabilities are licensed add-ons because they involve integrating external security tools into the decryption workflow.
