Package: wnpp

  Description     : opportunistically encrypt network transport

Tcpcrypt offers opportunistic security for TCP network traffic.  All
traffic between two tcpcrypt-enabled peers will be encrypted to
protect against passive monitoring.  tcpcrypt also exposes a strong
session identifier to tcpcrypt-aware clients, which can be used as a
hook for authentication.
