Abstract
A path is secured from one node to another node of the computing environment. The one node obtains a first encryption key and a second encryption key. A shared key is obtained by the one node from a key server, and the shared key is used to encrypt a message. The encrypted message includes the first encryption key and the second encryption key. The encrypted message and an identifier of the shared key is sent from the one node to the other node, and a response message is received by the one node. The response message at least provides an indication that the other node received the encrypted message and obtained the shared key.
