Hello Harald.
I'm not sure if this will handle what you're looking to achieve but a

as it traverses the net (ie. the UDP traffic is still unprotected).
That patch is available at ...

http://cns.utoronto.ca/~pkern/stuff/sst/
Both URLs have README files so I won't clutter this message any further
with longer descriptions.
Hope this helps.
Paul Kern.
