The disclosure relates to reducing the risk of security breaches in a multi-hop network. A decryption engine can decrypt at least a portion of a first encrypted packet using a first pair-wise transient key (PTK) to generate a first decrypted packet. A processor can then process the first decrypted packet to generate decrypted extracted information (DEI). An Operating System (OS) can receive the DEI from the processor, and then generate a forward message when the first encrypted packet is to be forwarded to the next hop node. The processor can then determine a destination address, a next hop address, and a second PTK associated with the next hop address from a key table. The decryption engine uses the first PTK to decrypt the first encrypted packet, and the encryption engine can use the second PTK to encrypt a first decrypted packet to generate a second encrypted packet.
