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

41 <para>
42 <quote>The TLS protocol provides communications privacy over the
43 Internet. The protocol allows client/server applications to communicate in
44 a way that is designed to prevent eavesdropping, tampering, or message
45 forgery.</quote>
46 </para>
47
48 <para>
49 <application>GnuTLS</application> provides support for TLS 1.3, TLS 1.2, TLS 1.1,
50 TLS 1.0, and SSL 3.0 protocols, TLS extensions, including server name and max
51 record size. Additionally, the library supports authentication using the
52 SRP protocol, X.509 certificates and OpenPGP keys, along with support for
53 the TLS Pre-Shared-Keys (PSK) extension, the Inner Application (TLS/IA)
54 extension and X.509 and OpenPGP certificate handling.
