There are several packages out there that allow encryption between
connections therefore an intruder could capture the data, but could not
decypher it to make any use of it.
Some packages available are:
* ssh is available at http://www.cs.hut.fi/ssh/ssh-archive/ .
* deslogin is one package available at ftp
coast.cs.purdue.edu:/pub/tools/unix/deslogin .
* swIPe is another package available at
ftp.csua.berkeley.edu:/pub/cypherpunks/swIPe/
* Netlock encrypts all (tcp, udp, and raw ip based) communications
transparently. It has automatic (authenticated Diffie-Helman)
distibuted key management mechanism for each host and runs on the SUN
4.1 and HP 9.x systems. The product comes with a Certification
