Datagram Transport Layer Security over the Datagram Congestion Control Protocol
RFC 5238, “Datagram Transport Layer Security over the Datagram Congestion Control Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in May 2008 by T. Phelan. It has since been updated by RFC 8996. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies the use of Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) over the Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP). DTLS provides communications privacy for applications that use datagram transport protocols and allows client/server applications to communicate in a way that is designed to prevent eavesdropping and detect tampering or message forgery. DCCP is a transport protocol that provides a congestion-controlled unreliable datagram service. [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.
