1. A secure distributed processing system, comprising a plurality of nodes connected over a network, and configured to process a plurality of tasks, each respective one of the nodes including:
a respective processor to process data of respective ones of the tasks; and
a respective network interface controller (NIC) to:
connect to other ones of the nodes over the network;
store task master keys for use in computing communication keys for securing data transfer over the network for respective ones of the tasks;
compute respective task and node-pair specific communication keys for securing communication with respective ones of the nodes over the network for respective ones of the tasks responsively to respective ones of the task master keys and node-specific data of respective pairs of the nodes; and
securely communicate the processed data of the respective ones of the tasks with the respective ones of the nodes over the network responsively to the respective task and node-pair specific communication keys.
