Re: encrypted IP

Does anybody have an update on the crypto IP efforts?

swIPe, which is a proposed network layer security protocol for the internet, may be read about in documents available from ftp://research.att.com/dist/mab/ A swIPe implementation should be available to the public very soon. Various work is being conducted to produce a security infrastructure for IPng.

I've heard there are several commercial products, including weakened U.S. DES versions from Semaphore Technologies, Motorola, Hughes, and UUNET technologies.

These aren't actually general secure IP implementations -- they are usually more ad hoc than that. Perry
