GnuTLS is a project that aims to develop a library which provides a secure layer, over a reliable transport layer.
|
|
|
|
|
Currently the GnuTLS library implements the proposed standards by the IETF's TLS working group.
|
|
|
|
|
Quoting from RFC2246 - the TLS 1.0 protocol specification:

|
|
|
The TLS protocol provides communications privacy over the Internet.
|
|
|
|
|
The protocol allows client/server applications to communicate in a way that is designed to prevent eavesdropping, tampering, or message forgery.
