1. A method, comprising:

  • receiving an Ethernet data packet comprising a header having a structure from an operating system at a virtualization layer, the virtualization layer being above a physical layer and below all other layers;

    performing an operation on a portion of the Ethernet data packet other than the header, thereby creating a modified data packet and maintaining the original header structure;

    accessing, by the virtualization layer, an encryption modulation chart;

    updating the virtualization layer to apply a first encryption algorithm to a first portion of the Ethernet data packet and to apply a second encryption algorithm to a second portion of the Ethernet data packet;

    selecting, by the virtualization layer, an encryption algorithm from the encryption modulation chart;

    applying different encryption algorithms, by the virtualization layer to the Ethernet data packet at the same point in time;

    transmitting the modified data packet, including the original header structure, to the physical layer.
