Datagram Transport Layer Security for Stream Control Transmission Protocol
RFC 6083, “Datagram Transport Layer Security for Stream Control Transmission Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in January 2011 by M. Tuexen, R. Seggelmann, E. Rescorla. 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 Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) protocol over the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP).
DTLS over SCTP provides communications privacy for applications that use SCTP as their transport protocol and allows client/server applications to communicate in a way that is designed to prevent eavesdropping and detect tampering or message forgery.
Applications using DTLS over SCTP can use almost all transport features provided by SCTP and its extensions. [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.
