1. A method for processing data packets in a mobile data network that includes a radio access network coupled to a core network, the method comprising the steps of: a plurality of antennas sending and receiving network messages between user equipment and a plurality of basestations in the radio access network, each basestation communicating with a corresponding one of the plurality of antennas; a breakout component in the one of the plurality of basestations that performs the steps of: defining an existing first data path in the radio access network for non-broken out data; defining a second data path for broken out data; identifying first data received from a corresponding basestation as data to be broken out; sending the first data on the second data path; forwarding other data that is not broken out on the first data path; and performing a first service with respect to internet protocol (IP) data sent to the first user equipment in response to an IP data request in the first data from the first user equipment; storing keys to a non-volatile key storage and retrieving keys from the non-volatile key storage; and when an application running on a first subsystem system in the breakout component requires access to a key stored in the non-volatile key storage, the application requesting access to the key from the first subsystem, and in response to the request by the application to access the key, the first subsystem retrieving the key from the security subsystem and writing the key to a shared memory in the first subsystem.
