Abstract
Various embodiments of the disclosed subject matter provide methods and systems for improved efficiency and security in secure gateway-to-secure gateway network communication. Embodiments provide systems and methods for generating a sender secure gateway private identity, obtaining a receiver secure gateway public identity, generating an encryption key using the sender secure gateway private identity and the receiver secure gateway public identity, encrypting a data packet using the encryption key, and sending the encrypted data packet to a receiver secure gateway. Embodiments also provide systems and methods for generating a receiver secure gateway private identity, obtaining a sender secure gateway public identity, generating a decryption key using the receiver secure gateway private identity and the sender secure gateway public identity, receiving an encrypted data packet from a sender secure gateway, and decrypting the data packet using the decryption key.
