Ballot Text
Technical Summary
This document specifies version 1.2 of the Transport Layer
Security (TLS) protocol. The most important improvements over
earlier versions are algorithm agility for digital signatures
and PRFs, and support for authenticated encryption modes. The
document also merges in AES cipher suites from RFC 3268 and the
TLS extension mechanism from RFC 4366. Several requirements have
been also tightened, and text has been clarified based on
feedback from implementations of earlier versions of TLS.
