Datagram TLS



This seems relevant to these working groups.

Although TLS is quite useful as a generic security layer protocol for
lots of applications, it is limited by its reliance on datagram
transport. It seems like it would be useful to deploy TLS-style security
for datagram apps. To this end, Nagendra Modadugu and I have designed a
variant on TLS which works properly over datagram transport but is
otherwise intended to be as similar to TLS as possible.
