Abstract
The present invention is a method, system, and computer program that provides secure network communication over a network between a first and a second entity wherein data packets are encrypted and transmitted according to previously exchanged encryption command information and wherein TCP accelerators may be used to effectively accelerate the transmission of the data packets. A method, system, and computer program are also shown that provide secure network communication through encrypting a plurality of payloads and embedding encryption command information for each encrypted payload into an options field of a corresponding protocol header while still allowing TCP accelerators to read the protocol headers and effectively accelerate the transmission of the payloads.
