The main promise IMO is providing transparent encryption to old applications and protocols that use TCP without their own encryption layer.
It is not possible to provide transparent authenticated encryption to everyone without some sort of CA system for IPs, but we should still provide the strongest privacy available by default, which is protection against passive eavesdropping.
- dagenix 7y agoThat sounds like a reasonable goal, I'm just at a loss for what old applications or protocols will benefit. Many of those old applications get stuck running on old kernels which would prevent this type of change from helping them.
