[zeromq-dev] Tcpcrypt Project

[Alejandro Wainzinger]

As I was thinking of creating a repo, I notice that using the
reference implementation available for Linux
(https://github.com/sorbo/tcpcrypt) we can already funnel any TCP
traffic through Tcpcrypt's encryption.  Given that, how much of an
advantage would it be to implement the encryption in ZMQ directly, as
opposed to the kernel-level implementation that already exists.  The
one nice thing I can think of would be cross-platform compatibility,
but performance-wise I wonder if we can do faster than kernel-level.
