Description of Working Group:
The TLS Working Group was established in 1996 to standardize a
'transport layer' security protocol. The working group began with SSL
version 3.0, and in 1999, RFC 2246, TLS Protocol Version 1.0 was
published as a Proposed Standard. The working group has also published
RFC 2712, Addition of Kerberos Cipher Suites to Transport Layer
Security (TLS) as a Proposed Standard, and two RFCs on the use of TLS
with HTTP.

The primary purpose of the working group is to advance the TLS
Protocol to Internet Standard. In addition, the working group will
publish documents defining new ciphersuites for use with TLS as
needed.
Goals and Milestones:
Done  Agreement on charter and issues in current draft.
Done  Final draft for Secure Transport Layer Protocol ('STLP')
Done  Working group 'Last Call'
Done  Submit to IESG for consideration as a Proposed Standard.
