The Licklider Transmission Protocol (LTP) is intended to serve as a
reliable convergence layer over single-hop deep-space radio frequency
(RF) links.  LTP does Automatic Repeat reQuest (ARQ) of data
transmissions by soliciting selective-acknowledgment reception
reports.  It is stateful and has no negotiation or handshakes.  This
document describes security extensions to LTP, and is part of a
series of related documents describing LTP.

This document is a product of the Delay Tolerant Networking Research
Group and has been reviewed by that group.  No objections to its

Protocol for the Internet community.

This document is a product of the IRTF Working Group of the IETF.
