[Fed-Talk] CAC protocol question

Subject: [Fed-Talk] CAC protocol question
From: Todd Heberlein <email@hidden>

When someone uses CAC to authenticate to a server (say a web server), are all the packets encrypted, signed, both, or neither?

I remember years ago people would use one-time passwords to authenticate to a system (e.g., to telnet in), but because the connection data/packets were never signed (or encrypted) it was easy to hijack a connection *after* the user authenticated himself. I am curious if CAC addresses this at all.

Thanks,

Todd
