http://crypto.stanford.edu/~nagendra/projects/dtls/ - TLS is the standard
protocol used for securing TCP based Internet traffic. Previous versions
of TLS were known as SSL.  Datagram TLS (DTLS) is a protocol based on TLS
that is capable of securing datagram transport (UDP for instance).

DTLS is well suited for securing applications that are delay sensitive
(and hence use datagram transport), tunnelling applications (VPN), and
applications that tend to run out of file descriptors or socket buffers.

Now implemented in OpenSSL - http://openssl.org/
