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.
