Title : Generic Security Service Application Program Interface Author(s) : John Linn Filename : draft-ietf-cat-genericsec-00.txt draft-ietf-cat-genericsec-00.ps This Internet-Draft proposes a Generic Security Service Application Program Interface (GSS-API) definition, providing security services to callers in a generic fashion which is supportable with a range of underlying mechanisms and technologies. Security contexts are established between peers, accomplishing peer entity authentication and providing the basis for subsequent per-message data origin authentication, integrity, and confidentiality protection services in conjunction with those contexts. This memo defines GSS-API services and primitives at a level which is independent of underlying security mechanism and programming language environment, and is to be complemented by related documents defining parameter bindings for particular language environments and defining token formats, protocols, and procedures to be implemented in order to realize GSS-API services atop a variety of underlying security mechanisms.
