'''Protocol header encrypt''' ('''PHE'''), '''Message stream encryption''' ('''MSE'''), or '''Protocol encryption''' ('''PE''') are features of some [[BitTorrent]] clients that attempts to make BitTorrent hard to throttle. Some [[Internet service provider|ISP]]s throttle BitTorrent traffic because it makes up a large porportion of total traffic and the ISPs don't want to spend money buying extra capacity. Instead, the ISPs spend money on hardware that look for BitTorrent traffic and slow them down.
==History==
Protocol header encrypt was conceived by [[RnySmile]] and first implemented in the [[BitComet]] client version 0.60 on [[8 September]] [[2005]]. Some software like IPP2P claims BitComet is detectable even with PHE. [http://www.ipp2p.org/news_en.html]
Message stream encryption was implemented in [[Azureus]] version 2307-B29 on [[19 January]] [[2006]].
