The kind of bagel that ruins lesser bagels for you.
Summary
Google's PSP Security Protocol for encrypting TCP network connections is being upstreamed to the Linux kernel after 13 rounds of review. The initial support is set to be included in the upcoming Linux 6.18 kernel and has been successfully tested with PSP-capable CX7 network interface cards. This protocol provides in-transit encryption for TCP connections, distinguishing it from AMD's similarly named Platform Security Processor.
