Abstract
Embodiments described herein relate to techniques for establishing a secure communication channel. The techniques may include making, by an upper level protocol application, a request for an interface identifier using an interface information set; receiving the interface identifier in response to the request; providing the interface identifier and an additional information set to a security module; making a first determination, by the security module, that a protocol socket is associated with the interface identifier; making a second determination, by the security module and based on the additional information set, that a security policy is configured for establishing the secure communication channel with a remote peer device; and establishing, using the protocol socket and the security policy, the secure communication channel with the remote peer device.
