Editing Transport Layer Security (section)

===={{Anchor|SNP}}Secure Network Programming (SNP)====
Other efforts towards transport layer security included the [[Secure Network Programming]] (SNP) [[application programming interface]] (API), which in 1993 explored the approach of having a secure transport layer API closely resembling [[Berkeley sockets]], to facilitate retrofitting pre-existing network applications with security measures. SNP was published and presented in the 1994 [[USENIX]] Summer Technical Conference.<ref name="Woo94">{{cite conference |first1=Thomas Y.
