Is there any software out there on the net for doing real-time,
transparent encryption of a PPP link?
Also, if this link is running at 600kbit/s to 1Mbit/s, how much
processing power would be required to keep up (assuming we're using,
say, the IDEA cipher)? Would a dedicated 386DX/33-based router on
each end be sufficient?
Finally, could someone make a ballpark estimate as to the amount of
additional latency that would be added?
thanks,
