Package: gnutls-bin (3.8.6-2 and others)

GNU TLS library - commandline utilities

GnuTLS is a portable library which implements the Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3) and Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS 1.0, 1.2) protocols.

GnuTLS features support for:

 - certificate path validation, as well as DANE and trust on first use.
 - the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP).
 - public key methods, including RSA and Elliptic curves, as well as password
   and key authentication methods such as SRP and PSK protocols.
 - all the strong encryption algorithms, including AES and Camellia.
 - CPU-assisted cryptography with VIA padlock and AES-NI instruction sets.
 - HSMs and cryptographic tokens, via PKCS #11.

This package contains a commandline interface to the GNU TLS library, which can be used to set up secure connections from e.g. shell scripts, debugging connection issues or managing certificates.

Useful utilities include:

 - TLS termination: gnutls-cli, gnutls-serv
 - key and certificate management: certtool, ocsptool, p11tool
 - credential management: srptool, psktool
