BTP is a transport layer security protocol for delay-tolerant networks. It provides confidentiality, authenticity, integrity, forward secrecy and protocol obfuscation for simplex byte streams. It can operate over any transport that can deliver a stream of bytes from a sender to a recipient on a best-effort basis. A memory card strapped to a carrier pigeon is one example of such a transport.
When operating over a duplex transport such as TCP, BTP treats each duplex connection as two independent simplex streams.

The underlying transport is not required to provide any security properties. We assume the adversary can read, modify, delete and insert traffic on the underlying transport at will.
