In computer networking, tcpcrypt is a transport layer communication encryption protocol.[1][2] Unlike prior protocols like TLS (SSL), tcpcrypt is implemented as a TCP extension. It was designed by a team of six security and networking experts: Andrea Bittau, Mike Hamburg, Mark Handley, David Mazières, Dan Boneh and Quinn Slack.[3] Tcpcrypt has been published as an Internet Draft.[4] Experimental user-space implementations are available for Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD and Windows. There is also a Linux kernel implementation.
The TCPINC (TCP Increased Security) working group was formed in June 2014 by IETF to work on standardizing security extensions in the TCP protocol.[5] In May 2019 the working group released RFC 8547 and RFC 8548 as an experimental standard for Tcpcrypt.
