Section 5.7.3 has been added to define the use of TLS in messaging associations
(and there have been minor editorial changes elsewhere to match):
5.7.3. Protocol Definition: Transport Layer Security
This defines the use of transport layer security as a basic channel
security mechanism. Support for this protocol is mandatory;
associations using it can carry messages with the transfer attribute
Secure=True. For use with TCP, implementation of TLS1.0 [11] is
REQUIRED and implementation of TLS1.1 [12] is RECOMMENDED. (If an
unreliable transport such as DCCP or UDP is defined for GIST
messaging associations in the future, TLS would be implemented with
it using DTLS [37].) This specification makes no additional
requirements on the TLS implementation (e.g. ciphersuites or
authentication mechanisms) since these can be negotiated within TLS
itself.
No higher-layer-addressing format is defined for TLS.
