It's called ipsec OR "encryption".

We could spend a lot of time and money developing an int'l Treaty or
Framework (or whatever we want to call it), but the bottom line is that if
you don't want your traffic snooped, you'd better use some strong
encryption.

TCP/IP  is akin to sending a postcard, not a sealed, certified letter.
