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.
