Abstract

A system (and method) includes a plurality of compute devices configured to execute an endpoint node and a provisioning service. The endpoint node is configured to establish an encrypted communication channel over a public network. The provisioning service is configured to retrieve configuration parameters from a database. The configuration parameters define a security association for the encrypted communication channel and include an encryption key and an identifier of an encryption algorithm. The provisioning service is configured to transmit the configuration parameters to the endpoint node for use in implementation of a security association for the encrypted communication channel.
