Weave Net can be configured to encrypt both the data passing over the TCP
|
||||
connections and the payloads of UDP packets sent between peers. This
|
||||
is accomplished using the [NaCl](http://nacl.cr.yp.to/) crypto
|

libraries, employing Curve25519, XSalsa20 and Poly1305 to encrypt and
|
||||
authenticate messages. Weave Net protects against injection and replay
|
||||
attacks for traffic forwarded between peers.
