Ballot Text

Technical Summary

  This document specifies Version 1.0 of the Datagram Transport Layer
  Security (DTLS) protocol.  The DTLS protocol provides communications
  privacy for datagram protocols.  The protocol allows client/server
  applications to communicate in a way that is designed to prevent
  eavesdropping, tampering, or message forgery.  The DTLS protocol is
  based on the TLS protocol and provides equivalent security guarantees.
  Datagram semantics of the underlying transport are preserved by the
  DTLS protocol.
