Description-en: 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 and servers, which can
be used as a hook for authentication.
.
This package contains the network daemon, which will accept and wrap
traffic redirected to it.
