Technical Summary

   This document specifies version 1.3 of the Transport Layer Security
   (TLS) protocol.  TLS allows client/server applications to communicate
   over the Internet in a way that is designed to prevent eavesdropping,
   tampering, and message forgery.

   This document updates RFCs 5705, 6066, 7627, and 8422 and obsoletes
   RFCs 5077, 5246, 6961, 8422, and 8446.  This document also specifies
   new requirements for TLS 1.2 implementations.

Document Quality

   There are numerous implementations of TLS 1.3; this I-D is to make
   clarifications for those implementations. No existing implementations are not
   listed in the I-D.
