The Generic Security Services Application Program Interface (GSS-API)
offers application programmers uniform access to security services
atop a variety of underlying cryptographic mechanisms. This document
specifies the Java bindings for GSS-API which is described at a
language independent conceptual level in RFC 2743 [GSSAPIv2-UPDATE].
The GSS-API allows a caller application to authenticate a principal
identity, to delegate rights to a peer, and to apply security
services such as confidentiality and integrity on a per-message
basis. Examples of security mechanisms defined for GSS-API are The
Simple Public-Key GSS-API Mechanism [SPKM] and The Kerberos Version 5
GSS-API Mechanism [KERBV5].
This document is a product of the Common Authentication Technology
Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.
