# Release Notes for ktls-utils 1.0.0-pre

In-kernel TLS consumers need a mechanism to perform TLS handshakes
on a connected socket to negotiate TLS session parameters that can
then be programmed into the kernel's TLS record protocol engine.

This package of software provides a TLS handshake user agent that
listens for kernel requests and then materializes a user space
socket endpoint on which to perform these handshakes. The resulting
negotiated session parameters are passed back to the kernel via
standard kTLS socket options.

See [COPYING](COPYING) for the full text of the license under which
this package is released.

## Dependencies

* The local kernel must have net/handshake support and be built with
  CONFIG_TLS enabled
* The local build environment requires GnuTLS and keyutils
