The negotiated protocol is used to transparently secure application data for the life of the connection, providing protection against all passive and some active attacks. Security protocols may operate anonymously or make opportunistic use of available key material. Backwards compatibility with non-OPSEC-aware hosts is maintained, thereby permitting incremental deployment of this mechanism.Comments and Discussion Please send feedback on this draft to tsv-area@ietf.org.}, }
