34 <para>
35 The <application>GnuTLS</application> package contains libraries and
36 userspace tools which provide a secure layer over a reliable transport
37 layer. Currently the <application>GnuTLS</application> library implements
38 the proposed standards by the IETF's TLS working group. Quoting from the
39 TLS protocol specification:

42 <para>
43 <quote>The TLS protocol provides communications privacy over the
44 Internet. The protocol allows client/server applications to communicate in
45 a way that is designed to prevent eavesdropping, tampering, or message
46 forgery.</quote>
47 </para>
48
49 <para>
50 <application>GnuTLS</application> provides support for TLS 1.2, TLS 1.1,
51 TLS 1.0, and SSL 3.0 protocols, TLS extensions, including server name and max
52 record size. Additionally, the library supports authentication using the
53 SRP protocol, X.509 certificates and OpenPGP keys, along with support for
54 the TLS Pre-Shared-Keys (PSK) extension, the Inner Application (TLS/IA)
55 extension and X.509 and OpenPGP certificate handling.
