  Overview

Presents a new approach called TurboTLS to establish TLS connections using one less round trip
Sends the initial client-to-server and server-to-client flows of the TLS handshake over UDP instead of TCP
Simultaneously carries out the three-way TCP handshake in the same flights
Completes the final flight of the TLS handshake over the esta...
