Abstract:
Despite growing adoption of TLS, a significant fraction of TCP
traffic on the Internet remains unencrypted. The persistence of
unencrypted traffic can be attributed to at least two factors.
First, some legacy protocols lack a signaling mechanism (such as a
"STARTTLS" command) by which to convey support for encryption, making
incremental deployment impossible. Second, legacy applications
themselves cannot always be upgraded, requiring a way to implement
encryption transparently entirely within the transport layer. The
TCP Encryption Negotiation Option (TCP-ENO) addresses both of these
problems through a new TCP option-kind providing out-of-band, fully
backward-compatible negotiation of encryption.
