Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for inline security key exchanges between network devices. An example network device includes one or more processors and memory coupled to the one or more processors. The memory stores instructions that, upon execution, cause one or more processors to obtain a first payload key and obtain a path key. The instructions cause the one or more processors to encrypt a first payload of a first packet using the first payload key and insert the first payload key into first metadata of the first packet. The instructions cause the one or more processors to encrypt the first metadata using the path key and send the first packet to another network device.
