Does anybody have an update on the crypto IP efforts? I've heard there are several commercial products, including weakened U.S. DES versions from Semaphore Technologies, Motorola, Hughes, and UUNET technologies. Also, some higher quality foreign versions. How many of these products interoperate across vendors? Are there any public domain versions available or in the works? Any emerging standards, so that if I wrote my own system it could interoperate with other crypto IP based clients and servers? thanks, Jim Hart hart@chaos.bsu.edu

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.

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