Abstract
Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with processing secure network traffic are described. One example method includes determining whether a device is a preconfigured member of a group key system. If the device is not a preconfigured member then the method selectively establishes membership in the group key system by requesting membership from a group controller. The example method may also include receiving a set of keys from the group controller and being assigned a role by the group controller. The method may further include processing secure network traffic as an inspection point, a rewriting point, and/or a validation point based on the received set of keys and the assigned role(s).
