Hi
Well the communication among all the components of the Checkpoint is Secured.For more information you can read the topic SIC(Secure Internal Communication) in the ebook or Checkpoint guides that will give you the better idea.
you cant see the encrption and decryption in this process.

I hope this will help you.

All Check Point to Check Point traffic is encrypted in terms of management.

ie SMARTClient to SMARTCenter is encrypted, SMARTCenter to Gateway is encrypted, Gateway to SMARTCenter is encrypted.

They don't publish any details of what encryption scheme they use to do this, however I believe it used to be based on the old FWZ encryption, not sure if it still is.

I believe it's x.509-based, using RSA certificates, with SSL as the transport layer.
