DTLS, Datagram Transport Layer Security |
Description:
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.
DTLS is based on the TLS protocol and provides equivalent security guarantees.
Datagram semantics of the underlying transport are preserved.
