Tcpcrypt is an experimental protocol designed to add encryption capabilities to TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) connections. Unlike traditional approaches where encryption is typically added at the application layer (e.g., HTTPS for web traffic), tcpcrypt aims to provide transport-layer encryption that is integrated into the TCP stack itself. This means that the encryption is handled transparently and can secure any TCP traffic without requiring changes to the applications using the protocol.
