In a node (110) communicating with other nodes in a network (150), a system and method for performing cryptographic-related functions is provided. The node (110) receives and transmits inputs and outputs requiring cryptographic-related processing. When cryptographic processing is required, the node (110) transmits a predefined message to a cryptographic processing component in the node (110) that then performs the desired cryptographic-related processing.
