Method and system for providing multiple encryption in a multi-band multi-protocol hybrid wired/wireless network
First Claim
1. A method for multiple encryption in a multi-band multi-protocol hybrid wired/wireless network, the method comprising:
- receiving on a first PHY channel of an access point, a request for initiation of a communication session from an originating access device;
authenticating said communication session by authenticating said originating access device using a second PHY channel; and
hosting said communication session over a third PHY channel, said third PHY channel established between said access point and said originating access device.

Abstract
Multiple encryption in a multi-band multi-protocol hybrid wired/wireless network may include receiving on a first PHY channel of an access point, a request for initiation of a communication session from an originating access device. The received request may be acknowledged on the first PHY channel and the originating access device may be authenticated on a second PHY channel. One or more encryption/decryption keys may be provided for use during the communication session. A third PHY channel or the first or second PHY channels may host the communication session. The authentication information may be requested and delivered to the originating access device via a second PHY channel. The encryption key may be delivered to the originating access device via the first PHY channel or the second PHY channel. Additionally, information may be tunneled over a virtual channel established between the originating and a terminating access device.
