NAME
     libgnutls -  a TLS library

DESCRIPTION
     GnuTLS is a modern C library that  implements  the  standard
     network  security  protocol  Transport Layer Security (TLS),
     for use by network applications.

     It provides a secure layer, over a reliable transport layer.
     Currently  the  GnuTLS library implements the proposed stan-
     dards by the IETF's TLS working group.

     A number of projects in Solaris Desktop such  as  Evolution,
     Pidgin, Ekiga and Vino depend on it.
