      communicate securely with and to authenticate the clients.  The

      Mandos server uses IPv6 to allow Mandos clients to use IPv6

      link-local addresses, since the clients will probably not have
120
      any other addresses configured (see <xref linkend="overview"/>).
121
      Any authenticated client is then given the stored pre-encrypted
122
      password for that specific client.

      <quote><literal>_mandos._tcp</literal></quote>.  The Mandos
251
      client connects to the announced address and port, and sends a

      line of text where the first whitespace-separated field is the
253
      protocol version, which currently is

      <quote><literal>1</literal></quote>.  The client and server then
255
      start a TLS protocol handshake with a slight quirk: the Mandos
256
      server program acts as a TLS <quote>client</quote> while the
257
      connecting Mandos client acts as a TLS <quote>server</quote>.
258
      The Mandos client must supply an OpenPGP certificate, and the
259
      fingerprint of this certificate is used by the Mandos server to
260
      look up (in a list read from <filename>clients.conf</filename>
261
      at start time) which binary blob to give the client.  No other
262
      authentication or authorization is done by the server.
