Subject: Ethernet layer 2 or 1 encryption

I saw this touched on back in 1999 in this list, and am looking to
reopen this particular can of worms. What I'm looking to do is find
some way to transparently encrypt and decrypt all Ethernet traffic going
over a couple of links. The links are point to point, carrying HP
Switch Mesh traffic along with vlan'd Ethernet traffic. Ideally I'd
like a setup that I can drop in between the two switches, basically a set
of transparent bridges. Has anyone fooled around with anything similar
to this?
