A secure communication session is established between a first endpoint and a second endpoint. The first endpoint can contact the second endpoint via a first communication network and via a second communication network. The first communication network is more trusted than the second communication network. The first endpoint determines that a secure communication session is required. A security association is established between the endpoints for the communication session on a connection via the first communication network. Service is received on a connection via the second communication network using the previously established security association. The step of establishing a security association can comprise authenticating the second endpoint and negotiating a shared secret and the step of receiving service on a connection via the second communication network can occur without any further negotiation of key material or authentication between the endpoints via the second communication network. |
