Abstract
A path for a node of a computing environment is secured. The securing includes obtaining, by the node, a message that includes an identifier of a shared key and an encrypted message. The node obtains the shared key from a key server and uses it to decrypt the encrypted message to obtain an encryption key and one or more parameters. A security parameters index to be associated with the encryption key and the one or more parameters is obtained. The node sends a response message to another node, the response message including the security parameters index.
