+       GnuTLS is a project that aims to develop a library which

+       layer. Currently the GnuTLS library implements the proposed
+       standards by the IETF's TLS working group.
+
+       Quoting from the TLS protocol specification:
+
+       "The TLS protocol provides communications privacy over the
+       Internet. The protocol allows client/server applications to
+       communicate in a way that is designed to prevent eavesdropping,
+       tampering, or message forgery."
