Transport Layer Security (TLS) False Start

Metadata

Publisher: IETF
Doc Type: Informational
Pages: 11
Abstract: This document specifies an optional behavior of Transport Layer Security (TLS) client implementations, dubbed "False Start". It affects only protocol timing, not on-the-wire protocol data, and can be implemented unilaterally. A TLS False Start reduces handshake latency to one round trip.
