1. A method for independently encrypting channels of data in a transaction, comprising:
- encryption of a first data channel in the transaction using a first security association;
encryption of a second data channel in the transaction using a second security association; and
encryption of an arbitrary number of additional data channels contained within the transaction using a unique security association for each channel.

Abstract
A communication network encrypts a first portion of a transaction associated with point-to-point communications using a point-to-point encryption key. A second portion of the transaction associated with end-to-end communications is encrypted using an end-to-end encryption key.

22. A method for encrypting information, comprising:
-
programming a network processing device to associate different types of items in transactions with different security associations;
processing various different transactions at the network processing device;
correlating security associations with different channels in the transactions; and
encrypting or decrypting the items in the transactions according to the corresponding security associations. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
