An electronic device that establishes one or more Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) tunnels with an Evolved Packet Core (EPC) for another electronic device is described. In particular, the electronic device may receive, from the other electronic device, Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) information using a wireless local area network (WLAN) communication protocol, where the EAP information includes credentials used by the EPC to authenticate the other electronic device. Then, the electronic device may establish, with the EPC, one or more IPSec tunnels on behalf of the other electronic device using a wired communication protocol, where the one or more IPSec tunnels originate and terminate at the electronic device. Next, the electronic device may communicate encrypted information with the other electronic device using the WLAN communication protocol, where the encrypted information is encrypted using a different encryption protocol than IPSec. |
