Obfuscated TCP
Obfuscated TCP is a transport layer protocol that adds opportunistic encryption. It's designed to hamper and detect large-scale wiretapping and corruption of TCP traffic on the Internet.
If this is your first time here, watch the introduction first. There is also a Transcript.
TLS is the solution to protecting sensitive information. However, there's room for a low setup cost protocol to protect the bulk of traffic which isn't currently encrypted. It can't stop a focused attack, but it can assuage untargeted, dragnet sniffing of backbones.
We are concentrating on securing the web first. It's in alpha.
