+The Java I2P and i2pd teams are finishing the `SSU2 <{{ link1 }}>`_ transport and we will enable it for all in the next release.
+This completes our decade-long plan to upgrade all the cryptography from the original
+Java I2P implementation dating back to 2003.
+SSU2 will replace `SSU <{{ link2 }}>`_, our last remaining use of `ElGamal <{{ link3 }}>`_ cryptography.

+Designing a UDP transport presents unique and complex challenges not present in TCP protocols.
+A UDP protocol must handle security issues caused by address spoofing,
+and must implement its own congestion control.

+We first relied heavily on our previous experience with our NTCP2, SSU, and streaming protocols.
+Then, we carefully reviewed and borrowed heavily from two recently-developed UDP protocols:
