Abstract: Systems and methods for token secured routing are disclosed. An outbound routing table is maintained. A first token state is determined. A token value is determined based on the determined token state. First and second portions of the token value are identified. The first message is encrypted using the second portion of the first token value. A first packet is generated that includes the first portion as a token and includes the encrypted first message. The first packet is sent to the second node based on the second outbound routing entry in the outbound routing table.
