IP Packets forwarded over the SWVC can be encrypted. The ENCRYPTION Policy Criterion provides a mechanism to specify whether or not encryption is required. It can have the value Yes or Either.

[R23] If Policy Criterion ENCRYPTION=Yes is applied to an Application Flow, then the Application Flow MUST be encrypted before it is forwarded over the Underlay Connectivity Service.

[R23] means that encryption is applied by the SD-WAN Edge before packets are forwarded over the UCS UNI, and decryption is applied to packets received at the destination SD-WAN Edge. This is typically implemented by instantiating an encrypted TVC.10

[R24] If the Policy Criterion ENCRYPTION=Either is applied to an Application Flow, then this Policy Criterion MUST NOT be considered in the forwarding decision for the Application Flow.
