Maybe it's time to dust off some of those "reserved for future use" IP security options. It's almost as if someone saw this problem coming a long time ago. - Marsh https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc791#page-17 Security This option provides a way for hosts to send security, compartmentation, handling restrictions, and TCC (closed user group) parameters. The format for this option is as follows: +--------+--------+---//---+---//---+---//---+---//---+ |10000010|00001011|SSS SSS|CCC CCC|HHH HHH| TCC | +--------+--------+---//---+---//---+---//---+---//---+ Type=130 Length=11 Security (S field): 16 bits Specifies one of 16 levels of security (eight of which are reserved for future use). 00000000 00000000 - Unclassified 11110001 00110101 - Confidential 01111000 10011010 - EFTO 10111100 01001101 - MMMM 01011110 00100110 - PROG 10101111 00010011 - Restricted 11010111 10001000 - Secret 01101011 11000101 - Top Secret 00110101 11100010 - (Reserved for future use) 10011010 11110001 - (Reserved for future use) 01001101 01111000 - (Reserved for future use) 00100100 10111101 - (Reserved for future use) 00010011 01011110 - (Reserved for future use) 10001001 10101111 - (Reserved for future use) 11000100 11010110 - (Reserved for future use) 11100010 01101011 - (Reserved for future use)
