I don't think you can secure an insecure protocol.  Define secure?  You
mean you want to encrypt your icmp traffic?  What is the problem with
ICMP traffic?  If you want to disable anything try (type 8???) ping
packets.  I am pretty sure (as you stated) you need the rest for
functionality.  Are you worried about some kind of covert channel attack
like loki?
