   18: <p>This chapter describes commands that configure the Encryption Control
   19: Protocol (ECP) layer. All of these commands apply to the currently
   20: active bundle.</p>
   21: <p>To use ECP you should enable encryption at the bundle level.
   22: To allow encryption to be negotiated you should enable here some of 
   23: encryption protocols.</p>
   24: <p><b>Note:</b> In PPP, encryption should be handled by the ECP rather than CCP.  
   25: However, Microsoft combined both compression and encryption 
   26: into their ``compression'' algorithm (MPPC), which is confusing.</p>
   27: <p>
   28: <dl>
   29: 
   30: <dt><b><code>set ecp key <em>string</em> </code></b><dd>
   31: <p>Sets the encryption key.</p>
   32: 
   33: <dt><b><code>set ecp accept <em>option ...</em> </code></b><dd>
   34: <dt><b><code>set ecp deny <em>option ...</em> </code></b><dd>
   35: <dt><b><code>set ecp enable <em>option ...</em> </code></b><dd>
   36: <dt><b><code>set ecp disable <em>option ...</em> </code></b><dd>
   37: <dt><b><code>set ecp yes <em>option ...</em> </code></b><dd>
   38: <dt><b><code>set ecp no <em>option ...</em> </code></b><dd>
   39: <p>These commands configure various ECP options. Each direction of
   40: traffic (transmit and receive) is independent from the other.
   41: All options default to <code><b>disable</b></code> and <code><b>deny</b></code>.</p>
   42: <p>The <code><b>enable</b></code> and <code><b>disable</b></code> commands determine
   43: whether we desire the corresponding option on received data.
   44: The <code><b>accept</b></code> and <code><b>deny</b></code> commands determine
   45: whether we will allow the peer to request the corresponding option
   46: (which we must enable on our transmitted data).</p>
   47: 
   48: <p>The <b><code>yes</code></b> command is the same as
   49: <code><b>enable</b></code> and <code><b>accept</b></code>.
   50: The <b><code>no</code></b> command is the same as
   51: <code><b>disable</b></code> and <code><b>deny</b></code>.</p>
   52: 
   53: </dl>
   54: </p>
   55: 
   56: <p>The options available at the ECP layer are:</p>
   57: <p>
   58: <dl>
   59: 
   60: <dt><b><code>dese-bis</code></b><dd><p>This option enables DESE-bis (rfc 2419) encryption.
   61: This algorithm implemented in user-level, so require much CPU power
   62: on fast (&gt;10Mbit/s) links.</p>
   63: <p>The default is disable.</p>
   64: 
   65: <dt><b><code>dese-old</code></b><dd><p>This option enables DESE (rfc 1969) encryption.
   66: This algorithm implemented in user-level, so require much CPU power
   67: on fast (&gt;10Mbit/s) links.</p>
   68: <p><b>Note:</b> DESE protocol is deprecated. Because of data padding 
   69: to the next 8 octets boundary, required by block nature of DES encryption, 
   70: dese-old option can have interoperability issues with other protocols 
   71: which work over it. As example, it is incompatible with Predictor-1 and 
   72: Deflate compressions.</p>
   73: <p>The default is disable.</p>
