Title : Optimistic Encryption using TLS Signaling in the DNS
Author(s) : Paul Hoffman
Filename : draft-hoffman-trytls-00.txt
Pages : 4

Abstract:
Many Internet servers offer content in two transports: unencryped,
and encrypted with TLS. A user who accesses some content with a URL
that indicates unencrypted (such as "http:") might prefer to get the
content encrypted but doesn't bother to change the URL to indicate
this. This proposal allows Internet clients, particularly web
clients and mail user agents, to do a DNS lookup to see whether they
might expect content for a particular host to also be available under
TLS. Using the DNS for this is much faster than attempting a TLS
session that might time out or take many round trips in order to
discover that the content is not available.
