Besides IPsec, what crypto is there for the kernel? I've never really understood what "crypto in the kernel means" since it all should be a userspace thing.
Except IPsec, of course, and adding Freeswan would be a Good Thing. Freeswan people?
One thing I've heard in the past is "Yes, the US is safe now wrt encryption but <country> is not" -- and I've seen country=France,etc i.e. (self) important places.
