establish connections.  This applies to all TLS versions.  This
document updates RFCs 5246, 4346, and 2246.

This document is a product of the Transport Layer Security Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard.

protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the Official
Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the
