Abstract
Embodiments of a secure communication network are disclosed. For secure communication of data packets, a method implemented in a core node, is presented. The method includes receiving a double encapsulated data packet associated with a first layer and a second layer of encapsulation/encryption. The method further includes decapsulating/decrypting a second layer of encapsulation/encryption to access a portion of the data packet and re-encapsulating/re-encrypting at least the accessed portion with another second layer of encapsulation/encryption. The method further includes transmitting the re-encapsulated/re-encrypted data packet to a subsequent node based on the accessed portion.
