Abstract

Various embodiments of the disclosed subject matter provide methods and systems for improved efficiency and security in spoke-to-spoke network communication. Embodiments provide systems and methods for registering a spoke with a hub, updating a hub registration table with spoke registration information, sending the updated hub registration table to a plurality of registered spokes, using the updated hub registration table at a sending spoke to encrypt traffic to be sent to another spoke, and using the updated hub registration table at a receiving spoke to decrypt traffic received from another spoke.
