Ericsson Ericsson Ericsson This document describes a method for adding Cryptographic protection to the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP). The SCTP DTLS chunk defined in this document is intended to enable communications privacy for applications that use SCTP as their transport protocol and allows applications to communicate in a way that is designed to prevent eavesdropping and detect tampering or message forgery. Applications using SCTP DTLS chunk can use all transport features provided by SCTP and its extensions but with some limitations.
