NAME

       libgnutls -  a TLS library

DESCRIPTION

       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.
