Set "networking.tcpcrypt.enable = true;" to enable opportunistic TCP encryption
based on the user-space tools available from <http://tcpcrypt.org>.
Network attackers come in two varieties: passive and active (man-in-the-middle).
Passive attacks are much simpler to execute because they just require listening
on the network. Active attacks are much harder as they require listening and
modifying network traffic, often requiring very precise timing that can make
some attacks impractical.
Opportunistic encryption cannot protect against active attackers, but it *does*
protect against passive attackers. Furthermore, Tcpcrypt is powerful enough to
stop active attacks, too, if the application using it performs authentication.
