The ENCRYPT protocol has the role of encrypting messages in transit between JGroups nodes that belong to the same group. Message body data in clear coming down the JGroups stack on the sending node enters the ENCRYPT layer, gets encrypted and travels in encrypted form to all peers in the JGroups group, thus becoming opaque to whoever would monitor the low level traffic on the network. Once inside the receiving node JGroups stack, data is sent up the stack until it reaches the ENCRYPT layer, where it gets decrypted and turned into clear text which then gets sent up the stack. | The ENCRYPT protocol has the role of encrypting messages in transit between JGroups nodes that belong to the same group.

Overview
The ENCRYPT protocol has the role of encrypting messages in transit between JGroups nodes that belong to the same group. Message body data in clear coming down the JGroups stack on the sending node enters the ENCRYPT layer, gets encrypted and travels in encrypted form to all peers in the JGroups group, thus becoming opaque to whoever would monitor the low level traffic on the network. Once inside the receiving node JGroups stack, data is sent up the stack until it reaches the ENCRYPT layer, where it gets decrypted and turned into clear text which then gets sent up the stack.
