This is an item that goes back to the beginning of ESP work:

Minimally, how does the higher level 'learn' that it is secure:

E2E or TE2TE?

Encrypted/Authenticated/CrCed...  ?

And as ESP has a seq#, how might it be convied to the higher layer?

Case in point:  MAVlink has a 1-byte seq# in its payload.  How might this be provided by ESP?

https://mavlink.io/en/guide/message_signing.html

So I have been thinking about this vis-a-vis diet-esp.  What is the mechanism/trigger that can best work across a number of higher layers to inform of operating environment and values available (seq#)?

Is this done anywhere now?

Bob
