Encryption is currently provided on AT&T's cable telephony service.

Since cable modem service has traditionally been perceived as a way to surf the Web primarily by residential users, there was no need for internal encryption on the bearer path. Any secure transactions taking place would use the site's security software such as SSL. This assumption is changing, prompting the need for encryption on the channels themselves.

But AT&T cable telephone service has had encryption on their voice channels now for over a year, so implementation to cable modems should not be difficult, since it is a known implementation procedure from the voice side of the house.
