+ \section1 Datagram Transport Layer Security
+
+ Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) is a protocol that enables security
+ for datagram-based applications, providing them with protection against
+ eavesdropping, tampering, or message forgery. The DTLS protocol is based on the
+ stream-oriented Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. QtNetwork enables
+ the use of DTLS with User Datagram Protocol (UDP), as defined by
+ \l {https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6347}{RFC 6347}.

Due to import and export restrictions in some parts of the world, we
