- Abstract
- TCP and TLS are among the most essential protocols in today's Internet. TCP ensures reliable delivery of data while TLS secures the data transfer. Following the layered model, TLS was designed to be as independent as possible from the underlying transport protocol.This paper revisits this assumption and demonstrates the various benefits that a closer integration between TCP and TLS brings. We implement a first TCPLS prototype that demonstrates the feasibility of this integration. We show its usefulness on different use cases such as the benefit of bandwidth aggregation during a connection migration, and discuss several open research directions.
