Abstract
Methods and network interface devices for establishing a secure and authenticated network connection are provided. The method comprises: receiving, from a requesting entity, a destination IP address and a first certificate that is used to establish a secure network connection, wherein the first certificate comprises a first security attribute that is associated with a source destination IP address; identifying, with aid of one or more processors, a stored second security attribute associated with the destination IP address; and determining, with aid of the one or more processors, a policy action based at least in part on the first security attribute and the second security attribute.
