-       GnuTLS is a project that aims to develop a library which
-       provides a secure layer, over a reliable transport
-       layer. Currently the GnuTLS library implements the proposed
-       standards by the IETF's TLS working group.
-
-       Quoting from the TLS protocol specification:
-
-       "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."
