Abstract:
For a network that includes host machines for providing computing and networking resources and a VPN gateway for providing external access to those resources, a novel method that distributes encryption keys to the hosts to encrypt/decrypt the complete payload originating/terminating at those hosts is described. These encryption keys are created or obtained by the VPN gateway based on network security negotiations with the external networks/devices. These negotiated keys are then distributed to the hosts via control plane of the network. In some embodiments, this creates a complete distributed mesh framework for processing crypto payloads.

Claim (Index 22):
A non-transitory machine readable medium storing a program for execution by at least one processing unit, the program for implementing an edge gateway that connects a logical network in a datacenter to another network, the program comprising sets of instructions for:\n negotiating a key for encrypting a set of outgoing packets from a particular machine executing on particular host computer that implements a logical network, to an external device outside of the logical network; and providing the negotiated key to the particular host computer to encrypt the set of outgoing packets from the particular machine.
