32 | <para>The <application>GnuTLS</application> package contains a library and
|
---|
33 | userspace tools which provide a secure layer over a reliable transport
|
---|
34 | layer. Currently the <application>GnuTLS</application> library implements
|
---|
35 | the proposed standards by the IETF's TLS working group. Quoting from the
|
---|
36 | TLS protocol specification:</para>
|
---|
37 |
|
---|
38 | <para><quote>The TLS protocol provides communications privacy over the
|
---|
39 | Internet. The protocol allows client/server applications to communicate in
|
---|
40 | a way that is designed to prevent eavesdropping, tampering, or message
|
---|
41 | forgery.</quote></para>
|
---|
42 |
|
---|
43 | <para><application>GnuTLS</application> provides support for TLS 1.1, TLS
|
---|
44 | 1.0 and SSL 3.0 protocols, TLS extensions, including server name and max
|
---|
45 | record size. Additionally, the library supports authentication using the
|
---|
46 | SRP protocol, X.509 certificates and OpenPGP keys, along with support for
|
---|
47 | the TLS Pre-Shared-Keys (PSK) extension, the Inner Application (TLS/IA)
|

48 | extension and X.509 and OpenPGP certificate handling.</para>
