What is DTLS?

DTLS (Datagram Transport Layer Security) is a protocol that provides security for datagram-based applications. It's based on TLS (Transport Layer Security) and is designed to prevent eavesdropping, tampering, and message forgery in datagram protocols like UDP. DTLS is commonly used in VPNs, secure VoIP, and other applications where low latency is important, but some level of security is still required.

DTLS Competitor Technologies

TLS

TLS is a transport layer security protocol, similar to DTLS, providing secure communication over a network. DTLS is specifically designed for UDP, while TLS typically runs over TCP. They are competitors in securing transport.

IPSEC

IPsec is a suite of protocols that secures Internet Protocol (IP) communications by authenticating and encrypting each IP packet of a communication session. It is a competitor because it secures data at the network layer, offering an alternative to securing data at the transport layer with DTLS.
