+In-kernel TLS consumers need a mechanism to perform TLS handshakes on
+a connected socket to negotiate TLS session parameters that can then
+be programmed into the kernel's TLS record protocol engine.
+
+This package of software provides a TLS handshake user agent that
+listens for kernel requests and then materializes a user space socket
+endpoint on which to perform these handshakes. The resulting
+negotiated session parameters are passed back to the kernel via
+standard kTLS socket options.
