TCP Interactions with Key Mgmt
On segment transmit
Request tuple from TSAD (including # bytes to process)
If no TSAD entry, no key tuples or MAC of NONE, send w/o TCP-AO option
Otherwise, perform MAC and add TCP-AO
On segment receipt
Request tuple from TSAD (including # bytes to process)
Various considerations of tuple exists or not, MAC is NONE or not, TCP-AO is present or not, where most errors result in silent drop or silent accept
Validation failures are silently dropped (& indicated to TSAD?)
Process segment as usual (in window, etc.)
No pre-processing to avoid exhaustion from spoofed packets
