Due to a lack of cooperation between the Azureus and µTorrent developers, µTorrent was planning to use its own protocol. However, recent developments means they will collaborate on the protocol after all. [http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=45927#p45927] A new protocol specification was created by various developers and it was agreed that it is better than the method previously used in Azureus. Because of this, both clients implemented the same new encryption protocol. The new protocol is called MSE in Azureus and PE in µTorrent.
 
[[Bram Cohen]], the inventor of [[BitTorrent]] recently commented disfavouring on the ongoing development to obfuscate the BitTorrent traffic patterns. See on [http://bramcohen.livejournal.com/29886.html his blog].
