The Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) Protocol Version 1.3
draft-ietf-tls-dtls13-02
Abstract
This document specifies Version 1.3 of the Datagram Transport Layer
Security (DTLS) protocol. DTLS 1.3 allows client/server applications
to communicate over the Internet in a way that is designed to prevent
eavesdropping, tampering, and message forgery.
The DTLS 1.3 protocol is intentionally based on the Transport Layer
Security (TLS) 1.3 protocol and provides equivalent security
guarantees. Datagram semantics of the underlying transport are
preserved by the DTLS protocol.
