Providing security functions, such as data origin authentication, data integrity, and data confidentiality to data packets communicated over a communications pathway, in some instances, may result in data packets too large in size to be communicated over the pathway. A technique is provided which security encapsulates a data packet, and in event the size of the security encapsulated data packet exceeds a maximum data packet size capable of being transmitted over a communications pathway, fragments the security encapsulated data packet. As such, the provided technique enables data packets to be secured with security functions and to be communicated over the communications pathway without being impacted by or otherwise affected by the properties of the communications pathway.
