Abstract
Technologies for secure inter-virtual network function communication include a computing device to determine a cryptographic key for secure communication over at least one of an inter-virtual network function (VNF) network, an inter-virtual network function component (VNFC) network, or a VNF-VNFC network based on a security policy of the computing device; and. The computing device securely communicates over at least one of the inter-VNF, inter-VNFC, or VNF-VNFC network based on the determined cryptographic key.
