Hi to all the WireShark developer guru.

I am working on the MIKEY dissector and I will add some feature to decipher the encrypted data.

This feature should be not public.

Why should it not be public?

Wireshark already decrypts a lot of other protocols (both those with easily hackable "encryption" and those--such as SSL--where you need the private key to decrypt the payload).
