>   This  document specifies  Version 1.0 of  the Transport Layer
> Security
>   (TLS) protocol. 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.

>   This document  was  reviewed by  for   the IESG by  Jeff Schiller.

>   appears  to properly provide  the security services it claims.
> Perhaps
>   more  importantly it is the  product of an  evolutionary process
> where
>   implementations  have been coded  and tested  in the  real world.
> This
>   protocol is based on the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), which is
> deployed
>   in commercially available  Web  browsers from Netscape  and
> Microsoft.
>   In  addition  several  toolkits  are  available  for  implementers
> to
>   incorporate into other Internet tools.
