In some embodiments, the invention involves protecting network communications in a virtualized platform. An embodiment of the present invention is a system and method relating to protecting network communication flow using packet encoding/certification and the network stack. One embodiment uses a specialized engine or driver in the network stack to encode packets before being sent to physical network controller. The network controller may use a specialized driver to decode the packets, or have a hardware implementation of a decoder. If the decoded packet is certified, the packet is transmitted. Otherwise, the packet is dropped. An embodiment of the present invention utilizes virtualization architecture to implement the network communication paths. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
