Transport Layer Security over Stream Control Transmission Protocol
RFC 3436, “Transport Layer Security over Stream Control Transmission Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in December 2002 by A. Jungmaier, E. Rescorla, M. Tuexen. It has since been updated by RFC 8996. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes the usage of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol, as defined in RFC 2246, over the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP), as defined in RFC 2960 and RFC 3309. The user of TLS can take advantage of the features provided by SCTP, namely the support of multiple streams to avoid head of line blocking and the support of multi-homing to provide network level fault tolerance. Additionally, discussions of extensions of SCTP are also supported, meaning especially the support of dynamic reconfiguration of IP- addresses. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
