Abstract:
   This document presents tcpcrypt, a TCP extension for
   cryptographically protecting TCP connections.  Tcpcrypt maintains the
   confidentiality of data transmitted in TCP connections against a
   passive eavesdropper.  Additionally, applications that perform
   authentication can obtain end-to-end confidentiality and integrity
   guarantees by tying authentication to tcpcrypt Session ID values.

   The extension defines a new TCP option, CRYPT, which is designed to
   provide compatible interworking with TCPs that do not implement
   tcpcrypt.  The CRYPT option allows hosts to negotiate the use of
   tcpcrypt and establish shared, secret encryption keys.  These keys
   are then used with an authenticated-encryption mode to protect both
   the confidentiality and the integrity of transmitted application
   data.  Tcpcrypt is designed to require relatively low overhead,
   particularly at servers, so as to be useful even in the case of
   servers accepting many TCP connections per second.
