I don't know if you missed this or just don't consider it important, but essentially every video stream coming from a streaming video provider that is streaming copyrighted entertainment is encrypted. The volume of encrypted data traversing the internet in streams of this type vastly outweighs the entirety of all traffic of the type that the IETF is currently talking about encrypting for privacy reasons. _______________________________________________ perpass mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/perpass
