In a document, it has mentioned something very interesting:

SonicWall Next-generation firewalls security goes deeper than other firewalls by delivering real-time SSL decryption and inspection.

My understanding to SSL encryption is that the time to decrypt using current technology must be very very long such as 1000 years so that the encrypted data is very safe. So, is it possible for Sonicwall to decrypt instantly? If so, can we say that the existing encryption method has collapsed? If not, is Sonicwall lying?
