> If someone had wanted to make telnet encrypted, they would just have had to implement the standard telnet protocol and add another option in the protocol […] This document describes a the telnet encryption option as a generic method of providing data confidentiality services for the telnet data stream. While this document summarizes currently utilized encryption types and codes, it does not define a specific encryption algorithm. Separate documents are to be published defining implementations of this option for each encryption algorithm. * https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2946 https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2946
