Abstract

This document specifies an optional behavior of Transport Layer Security (TLS) client implementations, dubbed "False Start". It affects only protocol timing, not on-the-wire protocol data, and can be implemented unilaterally. A TLS False Start reduces handshake latency to one round trip.

For the definition of Status, see RFC 2026.

For the definition of Stream, see RFC 8729.
