Apropos IPsec, I've tried searching for any BTNS (opportunistic encryption mode 
for
IPsec) implementations, and even the authors of the RFC are not aware of any.

Obviously, having a working OE BTNS implementation in Linux/*BSD would be a very
valuable thing, as an added, transparent protection layer against passive 
attacks.

There are many IPsec old hands here, it is probably just a few man-days worth
of work. It should be even possible to raise some funding for such a project.

Any takers?
