Abstract
A method of establishing an encrypted session. An identifier is sent from a first node to a second node via a first connection. Either an encryption algorithm or an identifier of the encryption algorithm is also sent to the second node. The second node is also sent either an encryption key or an identifier of the encryption key. A command is received on a second connection indicating that an encrypted session is desired. In response to receiving a command including the identifier via the second connection, the encrypted session is established, using the encryption algorithm.
