Amazon releases new, easily auditable TLS implementation

If your SOHO/SMB utilizes AWS then this is something you should be planning to implement.

From Help Net Security:

Amazon releases new, easily auditable TLS implementation

A new, open source implementation of the TLS encryption protocol has been unveiled by Amazon Web Services.

Dubbed s2n (shorthand for "signal to noise"), the library doesn't implement rarely used options and extensions, meaning its size - currently some 6,000 lines of code - is much, much smaller than that of OpenSSL, currently the most widely used open source implementation of the SSL and TLS protocols, which contains more than 500,000 lines of code.
