<t indent="0" pn="section-1-1">Services and features provided by transport protocols have been
cataloged in <xref target="RFC8095" format="default" sectionFormat="of" derivedContent="RFC8095"/>. This document
supplements that work by surveying commonly used and notable network
security protocols, and identifying the interfaces between these
protocols and both transport protocols and applications. It examines
Transport Layer Security (TLS), Datagram Transport Layer Security
(DTLS), IETF QUIC, Google QUIC (gQUIC), tcpcrypt, Internet Protocol
Security (IPsec), Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP) with DTLS,
WireGuard, CurveCP, and MinimaLT. For each protocol, this document
provides a brief description. Then, it describes the interfaces between
these protocols and transports in <xref target="transport-interface" format="default" sectionFormat="of" derivedContent="Section 4"/> and the interfaces between these protocols and
applications in <xref target="application-interface" format="default" sectionFormat="of" derivedContent="Section 5"/>.</t>
<t indent="0" pn="section-1-2">A Transport Services system exposes an interface for applications to
access various (secure) transport protocol features. The security
protocols included in this survey represent a superset of functionality
and features a Transport Services system may need to support both
internally and externally (via an API) for applications <xref target="I-D.ietf-taps-arch" format="default" sectionFormat="of" derivedContent="TAPS-ARCH"/>. Ubiquitous IETF
protocols such as (D)TLS, as well as non-standard protocols such as
gQUIC, are included despite overlapping features. As such, this survey
is not limited to protocols developed within the scope or context of the
IETF. Outside of this candidate set, protocols that do not offer new
features are omitted. For example, newer protocols such as WireGuard
make unique design choices that have implications for and limitations on
application usage. In contrast, protocols such as secure shell (SSH)
<xref target="RFC4253" format="default" sectionFormat="of" derivedContent="RFC4253"/>, GRE <xref target="RFC2890" format="default" sectionFormat="of" derivedContent="RFC2890"/>, the Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) <xref target="RFC5641" format="default" sectionFormat="of" derivedContent="RFC5641"/>, and Application Layer Transport
Security (ALTS) <xref target="ALTS" format="default" sectionFormat="of" derivedContent="ALTS"/> are omitted since they do not provide interfaces
deemed unique.</t>
<t indent="0" pn="section-1-3">Authentication-only protocols such as the TCP Authentication Option
(TCP-AO) <xref target="RFC5925" format="default" sectionFormat="of" derivedContent="RFC5925"/> and the IPsec
Authentication Header (AH) <xref target="RFC4302" format="default" sectionFormat="of" derivedContent="RFC4302"/> are
excluded from this survey. TCP-AO adds authentication to long-lived TCP
connections, e.g., replay protection with per-packet Message
Authentication Codes. (TCP-AO obsoletes TCP MD5 "signature" options
specified in <xref target="RFC2385" format="default" sectionFormat="of" derivedContent="RFC2385"/>.) One primary use
case of TCP-AO is for protecting BGP connections. Similarly, AH adds
per-datagram authentication and integrity, along with replay
protection. Despite these improvements, neither protocol sees general
use and both lack critical properties important for emergent transport
security protocols, such as confidentiality and privacy
protections. Such protocols are thus omitted from this survey.</t>
<t indent="0" pn="section-1-4">This document only surveys point-to-point protocols; multicast protocols are out of scope.</t>
<section anchor="goals" numbered="true" toc="include" removeInRFC="false" pn="section-1.1">
<name slugifiedName="name-goals">Goals</name>
<t indent="0" pn="section-1.1-1">This survey is intended to help identify the most common interface
surfaces between security protocols and transport protocols, and
between security protocols and applications.</t>
<t indent="0" pn="section-1.1-2">One of the goals of the Transport Services effort is to define a
common interface for using transport protocols that allows software
using transport protocols to easily adopt new protocols that provide
similar feature sets. The survey of the dependencies security
protocols have upon transport protocols can guide implementations in
determining which transport protocols are appropriate to be able to
use beneath a given security protocol. For example, a security
protocol that expects to run over a reliable stream of bytes, like
TLS, restricts the set of transport protocols that can be used to
those that offer a reliable stream of bytes.</t>
<t indent="0" pn="section-1.1-3">Defining the common interfaces that security protocols provide to
applications also allows interfaces to be designed in a way that
common functionality can use the same APIs. For example, many security
protocols that provide authentication let the application be involved
in peer identity validation. Any interface to use a secure transport
protocol stack thus needs to allow applications to perform this action
during connection establishment.</t>

<t indent="0" pn="section-1.2-1">While this survey provides similar analysis to that which was performed for transport protocols in <xref target="RFC8095" format="default" sectionFormat="of" derivedContent="RFC8095"/>,
it is important to distinguish that the use of security protocols requires more consideration.</t>
<t indent="0" pn="section-1.2-2">It is not a goal to allow software implementations to automatically
switch between different security protocols, even where their
interfaces to transport and applications are equivalent. Even between

<name slugifiedName="name-transport-security-protocol">Transport Security Protocol Descriptions</name>
<t indent="0" pn="section-3-1">This section contains brief transport and security descriptions of
various security protocols currently used to protect data being sent
over a network. These protocols are grouped based on where in the
protocol stack they are implemented, which influences which parts of a
packet they protect: Generic application payload, application payload
for specific application-layer protocols, both application payload and
transport headers, or entire IP packets.</t>
<t indent="0" pn="section-3-2">Note that not all security protocols can be easily categorized, e.g.,
as some protocols can be used in different ways or in combination with
other protocols. One major reason for this is that channel security
protocols often consist of two components:</t>
<ul spacing="normal" bare="false" empty="false" indent="3" pn="section-3-3">
<li pn="section-3-3.1">A handshake protocol, which is responsible for negotiating parameters, authenticating the
endpoints, and establishing shared keys.</li>
<li pn="section-3-3.2">A record protocol, which is used to encrypt traffic using keys and parameters provided by the
handshake protocol.</li>
</ul>
<t indent="0" pn="section-3-4">For some protocols, such as tcpcrypt, these two components are
tightly integrated. In contrast, for IPsec, these components are
implemented in separate protocols: AH and the Encapsulating Security Payload
(ESP) are record protocols, which can use keys supplied by the handshake
protocol Internet Key Exchange Protocol Version 2 (IKEv2), by other
handshake protocols, or by manual configuration. Moreover, some
protocols can be used in different ways: While the base TLS protocol as
defined in <xref target="RFC8446" format="default" sectionFormat="of" derivedContent="RFC8446"/> has an integrated
handshake and record protocol, TLS or DTLS can also be used to negotiate
keys for other protocols, as in DTLS-SRTP, or the handshake protocol can
be used with a separate record layer, as in QUIC <xref target="I-D.ietf-quic-transport" format="default" sectionFormat="of" derivedContent="QUIC-TRANSPORT"/>.</t>

prevents "eavesdropping, tampering, and message forgery." TLS
consists of a tightly coupled handshake and record protocol. The
handshake protocol is used to authenticate peers, negotiate protocol
options such as cryptographic algorithms, and derive
session-specific keying material. The record protocol is used to
marshal and, once the handshake has sufficiently progressed,
encrypt data from one peer to the other. This data may contain
handshake messages or raw application data.</t>

All security protocols surveyed generally improve privacy by using encryption to reduce information

<abstract>
<t indent="0"> This document specifies Version 1.3 of the Datagram Transport Layer
Security (DTLS) protocol. DTLS 1.3 allows client/server applications
to communicate over the Internet in a way that is designed to prevent
eavesdropping, tampering, and message forgery.
The DTLS 1.3 protocol is intentionally based on the Transport Layer
Security (TLS) 1.3 protocol and provides equivalent security
guarantees with the exception of order protection/non-replayability.
Datagram semantics of the underlying transport are preserved by the
DTLS protocol.

<t indent="0">This document defines the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), an authentication framework which supports multiple authentication methods. EAP typically runs directly over data link layers such as Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) or IEEE 802, without requiring IP. EAP provides its own support for duplicate elimination and retransmission, but is reliant on lower layer ordering guarantees. Fragmentation is not supported within EAP itself; however, individual EAP methods may support this. This document obsoletes RFC 2284. A summary of the changes between this document and RFC 2284 is available in Appendix A. [STANDARDS-TRACK]</t>

<abstract>
<t indent="0">This document specifies the TCP Authentication Option (TCP-AO), which obsoletes the TCP MD5 Signature option of RFC 2385 (TCP MD5). TCP-AO specifies the use of stronger Message Authentication Codes (MACs), protects against replays even for long-lived TCP connections, and provides more details on the association of security with TCP connections than TCP MD5. TCP-AO is compatible with either a static Master Key Tuple (MKT) configuration or an external, out-of-band MKT management mechanism; in either case, TCP-AO also protects connections when using the same MKT across repeated instances of a connection, using traffic keys derived from the MKT, and coordinates MKT changes between endpoints. The result is intended to support current infrastructure uses of TCP MD5, such as to protect long-lived connections (as used, e.g., in BGP and LDP), and to support a larger set of MACs with minimal other system and operational changes. TCP-AO uses a different option identifier than TCP MD5, even though TCP-AO and TCP MD5 are never permitted to be used simultaneously. TCP-AO supports IPv6, and is fully compatible with the proposed requirements for the replacement of TCP MD5. [STANDARDS-TRACK]</t>

<abstract>
<t indent="0">This document defines ZRTP, a protocol for media path Diffie-Hellman exchange to agree on a session key and parameters for establishing unicast Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP) sessions for Voice over IP (VoIP) applications. The ZRTP protocol is media path keying because it is multiplexed on the same port as RTP and does not require support in the signaling protocol. ZRTP does not assume a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) or require the complexity of certificates in end devices. For the media session, ZRTP provides confidentiality, protection against man-in-the-middle (MiTM) attacks, and, in cases where the signaling protocol provides end-to-end integrity protection, authentication. ZRTP can utilize a Session Description Protocol (SDP) attribute to provide discovery and authentication through the signaling channel. To provide best effort SRTP, ZRTP utilizes normal RTP/AVP (Audio-Visual Profile) profiles. ZRTP secures media sessions that include a voice media stream and can also secure media sessions that do not include voice by using an optional digital signature. This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is published for informational purposes.</t>

<t indent="0">Despite growing adoption of TLS, a significant fraction of TCP traffic on the Internet remains unencrypted. The persistence of unencrypted traffic can be attributed to at least two factors. First, some legacy protocols lack a signaling mechanism (such as a STARTTLS command) by which to convey support for encryption, thus making incremental deployment impossible. Second, legacy applications themselves cannot always be upgraded and therefore require a way to implement encryption transparently entirely within the transport layer. The TCP Encryption Negotiation Option (TCP-ENO) addresses both of these problems through a new TCP option kind providing out-of-band, fully backward-compatible negotiation of encryption.</t>

<abstract>
<t indent="0">This document specifies "tcpcrypt", a TCP encryption protocol designed for use in conjunction with the TCP Encryption Negotiation Option (TCP-ENO). Tcpcrypt coexists with middleboxes by tolerating resegmentation, NATs, and other manipulations of the TCP header. The protocol is self-contained and specifically tailored to TCP implementations, which often reside in kernels or other environments in which large external software dependencies can be undesirable. Because the size of TCP options is limited, the protocol requires one additional one-way message latency to perform key exchange before application data can be transmitted. However, the extra latency can be avoided between two hosts that have recently established a previous tcpcrypt connection.</t>

<abstract>
<t indent="0"> This document describes an architecture for exposing transport
protocol features to applications for network communication, the
Transport Services architecture. The Transport Services Application
Programming Interface (API) is based on an asynchronous, event-driven
interaction pattern. It uses messages for representing data transfer
to applications, and it describes how implementations can use
multiple IP addresses, multiple protocols, and multiple paths, and
provide multiple application streams. This document further defines
common terminology and concepts to be used in definitions of
Transport Services APIs and implementations.

<abstract>
<t indent="0"> This document describes an abstract application programming
interface, API, to the transport layer, following the Transport
Services Architecture. It supports the asynchronous, atomic
transmission of messages over transport protocols and network paths
dynamically selected at runtime. It is intended to replace the
traditional BSD sockets API as the common interface to the transport
layer, in an environment where endpoints could select from multiple
interfaces and potential transport protocols.
