In case it wasn't clear from the discussion in the meeting, TCP-use-TLS is
not restricted to
implementation in applications *or* in user-space. The implementation we
are developing
is a user-space daemon which intercepts outgoing and incoming packets, so
it will
cover unmodified applications, just as a kernel-level implementation would.

You could of course do a kernel-level implementation (indeed, I believe
Microsoft
has a kernel-mode SSL stack in their product), but that's not how we're
doing our
first cut.
