<para>GnuTLS is a modern C library that implements the standard network

security protocol Transport Layer Security (TLS), for use by network

applications.

It provides a secure layer, over a reliable transport layer.

Currently the GnuTLS library implements the proposed standards by the

IETF's TLS working group.

A number of projects in Solaris Desktop such as Evolution, Pidgin,

Ekiga and Vino depend on it.
