{"description": "Support for Transport Layer Security (TLS), and its predecessor, the Secure\nSockets Layer (SSL), is included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux in the OpenSSL software (RPM package\n<tt>openssl</tt>).  TLS provides encrypted and authenticated network\ncommunications, and many network services include support for it.  TLS or SSL\ncan be leveraged to avoid any plaintext transmission of sensitive data.\n<br />\nFor information on how to use OpenSSL, see\n<b>\n    <a xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml' href='http://www.openssl.org/docs/'>http://www.openssl.org/docs/</a></b>.
