Datagram Transport Layer Security Version 1.2
RFC 6347, “Datagram Transport Layer Security Version 1.2”, is a Proposed Standard document published in January 2012 by E. Rescorla, N. Modadugu. It obsoletes RFC 4347. It has since been updated by RFC 7507, RFC 7905, RFC 8996, RFC 9146. It has been obsoleted by RFC 9147 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies version 1.2 of the Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) protocol. The DTLS protocol provides communications privacy for datagram protocols. The protocol allows client/server applications to communicate in a way that is designed to prevent eavesdropping, tampering, or message forgery. The DTLS protocol is based on the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol and provides equivalent security guarantees. Datagram semantics of the underlying transport are preserved by the DTLS protocol. This document updates DTLS 1.0 to work with TLS version 1.2. [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.
