An embodiment may include circuitry to generate, at least in part, and/or receive, at least in part, a packet. The packet may include at least one field and an encrypted payload. The at least one field may include, at least in part, a first key and/or at least one value. The first key and at least one value, as included in the at least one field, may be encrypted by a second key. The encrypted payload may be capable of being decrypted, at least in part, based, at least in part, upon the first key and/or the at least one value to yield an unencrypted payload. The unencrypted payload may include at least a portion of application layer data that is to be communicated in a secure session.
