theonewolf, to the best our knowledge, we are the first to offer TLS protected iSCSI (a block storage transport). As we said in the post, SSL was considered back when the iSCSI protocol was developed, but IPsec won out. Many people use TLS today for object storage (ie. S3, Kinetic, etc.). That said, this post is less of a “pitch” and more of a “here’s what's possible with modern technology”. Regarding NASD, If I recall correctly, that was a file based research project.

BTW, regarding the drivers: none needed, you can do it from userland on any platform with a simple SSL proxy like stunnel. If you want, reach out and we can hook you up with software to play around with.
