SeND will not be coming to OpenBSD any time soon.

80 pages across two RFCs for mapping layer 2 addresses to layer 3
addresses?!?  Public key crypto (ASN.1 encoded, "of course") to verify
them?  I guarantee that implementing this will create more security
problems than it solves.

If you do not trust your local network, use crypto at a higher layer
(ipsec, ssh, ssl, etc).
