GnuTLS is a project that aims to develop a library which provides a secure layer, over a reliable transport layer.

Currently this library implements the proposed standards by the IETF's TLS working group.

Here are some key features of "GnuTLS":
Support for TLS 1.1, TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0 protocols. (Since SSL 2.0 is insecure it is not supported.)
Support for TLS extensions, including server name and max record size.
Support for authentication using the SRP protocol.
Support for authentication using both X.509 certificates and OpenPGP keys.
Support for TLS Pre-Shared-Keys (PSK) and Inner Application (TLS/IA) extensions
Support for X.509 and OpenPGP certificate handling.
Supports all the strong encryption algorithms.
Supports compression.
Runs on most Unix platforms.
GPL compatible license, unlike OpenSSL.
