| PackageDescription | GNU TLS library - commandline utilities
GnuTLS is a portable library which implements the Transport Layer
Security (TLS 1.0, 1.1, 1.2) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) 3.0 and Datagram
Transport Layer Security (DTLS 1.0, 1.2) protocols.
.
GnuTLS features support for:
- TLS extensions: server name indication, max record size, opaque PRF
input, etc.
- authentication using the SRP protocol.
- authentication using both X.509 certificates and OpenPGP keys.
- TLS Pre-Shared-Keys (PSK) extension.
- Inner Application (TLS/IA) extension.
- X.509 and OpenPGP certificate handling.
- X.509 Proxy Certificates (RFC 3820).
- all the strong encryption algorithms (including SHA-256/384/512 and
Camellia (RFC 4132)).
.
This package contains a commandline interface to the GNU TLS library, which
can be used to set up secure connections from e.g. shell scripts, debugging
connection issues or managing certificates. |
