Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) is a Transport Layer Security (TLS) extension for application layer protocol negotiation. ALPN allows the application layer to negotiate which protocol should be performed over a secure connection in a manner which avoids additional round trips and which is independent of the application layer protocols. It is used by HTTP/2.

Support

ALPN is supported by these libraries.

  • GnuTLS since version 3.2.0 released in May 2013.[1]
  • MatrixSSL since version 3.7.1 released in December 2014.[2]
  • Network Security Services since version 3.15.5 released in April 2014.[3]
  • OpenSSL since version 1.0.2 released in January 2015.[4]
  • LibreSSL since version 2.1.3 released in January 2015.[5]
  • mbed TLS (previously PolarSSL) since version 1.3.6 released in April 2014.[6]
  • SChannel since 8.1 / 2012 R2.
  • s2n since its original public release in June 2015.
  • wolfSSL (formerly CyaSSL) since version 3.7.0 released in October 2015. [7]

History

On July 11, 2014, ALPN was published as RFC 7301. ALPN replaces NPN [8]

TLS False Start was disabled in Google Chrome from version 20 (2012) onward except for websites with the earlier Next Protocol Negotiation (NPN) extension.[9]
