Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're saying here. But it seems like
the data should be encrypted before it reaches the cable modem on the
way out. This based on the assumption that the cable modem is plugged
into some sort of router, and all sensitive traffic is encrypted
(through some other means) prior to routing.
