Overview
========

This proposal is about adding a flag to streaming that specifies the type of
end-to-end encryption being used.


Motivation
==========

High-loaded apps can encounter a shortage of ElGamal/AES+SessionTags tags.


Design
======

Add a new flag somewhere within the streaming protocol. If a packets comes with
this flag it means payload is AES encrypted by key from private key and peer's
public key. That would allow to eliminated garlic (ElGamal/AES) encryption and
shortage of tags problem.

May be set per packet or per stream through SYN.
