"If memory serves, IPv6 encrpyts every connection. The problem has been solved, the solution simply needs to be implemented."

Yikes. Don't make comments like that unless you know what you are talking about. IPv6 has IPSec (network layer encryption) as part of the base protocol suite. It will not be used all of the time, or even most of the time. In fact, the current implementation relies on static keying, which means that it has no provisions for updating encryption keys when sequence numbers are reused, so it's not even practical for most people.

Not to mention that IPv6 isn't anywhere near widespread use. Are we just supposed to stay offline until it comes around?
