GNUtls - A library implementing TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0 protocols

GnuTLS is a library implementing the Transport Layer security protocol. The TLS is a protocol that provides security over the transport layer, letting client/server apps communicate in a way designed to prevent forgery, eavesdropping, or tampering.

The program is currently in development and at an alpha stage. However, it does support anonymous key exchange and SRP authentication.
