Abstract
A packet that includes a header and a payload can be acquired. A first portion of the payload can be selected such that the first portion that is smaller than the payload. The header and the first portion of the payload can be encrypted based on an encryption algorithm to generate an encrypted packet. The encrypted packet can be transmitted to a node on a network.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- acquiring, by a computing system, a packet that includes a header and a payload;
- selecting, by the computing system, a first portion of the payload, the first portion smaller than the payload;
- encrypting, by the computing system, the header and the first portion of the payload based on a first encryption algorithm to generate an encrypted packet;
- and
- transmitting, by the computing system, the encrypted packet to a node on a network.
A system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform a method comprising:
- acquiring a packet that includes a header and a payload;
- selecting a first portion of the payload, the first portion smaller than the payload;
- encrypting the header and the first portion of the payload based on a first encryption algorithm to generate an encrypted packet;
- and
- transmitting the encrypted packet to a node on a network.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform a method comprising:
- acquiring a packet that includes a header and a payload;
- selecting a first portion of the payload, the first portion smaller than the payload;
- encrypting the header and the first portion of the payload based on a first encryption algorithm to generate an encrypted packet;
- and
- transmitting the encrypted packet to a node on a network.
