Secured protocol links

Below are a list of external links used when talking about the Herald Secured payload for contact tracing:-

• Kerberos authentication and ticket passing (As used when you log in to corporate networks and services): RFC-4120
• Time base one time password - TOTP (As used in your online banking codes): RFC-6238
• Diffie-Hellman-Merkle key agreement (As used whenever you use a ‘https’ secure connection): RFC-2631 (Note: We mention Merkle as a nod to the request of Hellman)
