  ESP_NULL should not satisfy legal issues, as there is no indication
that the data is not encrypted. As such, you could trivially start
encrypting packets in that context.
  AH was designed for what you want. The fact that it isn't NAT-T
capable just means that you should be using IPv6. tell your regulator
that when they force your ISP to support v6, you'll comply with the law.
