Claim:
A method of encrypting and transmitting data in a secure communication system, said method comprising: establishing a first data tunnel over a non-secure public data network; combining an analog communication data stream and a digital data stream to form a data stream, said combining being performed by a voice-enabled router; encrypting said data stream through a Type 1 encryption unit into an encrypted data stream; encapsulating said Type 1 encrypted data stream in an IP packet; establishing a second data tunnel over said non-secure public data network to transmit said encapsulated Type 1 encrypted data stream; and transmitting said encapsulated Type 1 encrypted data stream through said first data tunnel and said second data tunnel over said non-secure public data network; wherein a payload of said encapsulated Type 1 encrypted data stream IP packet contains routing information for routing said encapsulated Type 1 encrypted data stream to a second computing device and a second analog communications device.
