BIP-150 requires that prior to authentication the two nodes have established encrypted communications as per BIP-151. As of January 2017, BIP-150 and BIP-151 are not implemented in Bitcoin Core. However, the two proposals have been implemented by at least one alternative bitcoin client, named bcoin.((("bcoin")))
