GSSLib is an implementation of the Generic Security Service Application Program Interface (GSS-API). GSS-API is used by network servers to provide security services. For example, GSS can be used to authenticate a client against SMTP or IMAP servers. GSS consists of a library, a manual, and a command line tool for debugging purposes.
Noteworthy changes since the last version: * Version 0.1.5 (released 2010-03-22) ** Properly increment shared library version for newly added APIs in v0.1.4. Note that the API/ABI is still fully backwards compatible. ** API and ABI modifications. No changes since last version. * Version 0.1.4 (released 2010-03-22) ** Add new interfaces defined in RFC 5801. The APIs are gss_inquire_mech_for_saslname and gss_inquire_saslname_for_mech. ** KRB5: Fix bug in channel binding computation. ** Update gnulib files. ** API and ABI modifications. gss_inquire_mech_for_saslname: ADDED. gss_inquire_saslname_for_mech: ADDED. While written to be flexible with regards to different GSS mechanisms, the only currently supported mechanism is Kerberos 5 via GNU Shishi. Mutual and non-mutual authentication, as client and server, is supported. Message privacy protection using DES and 3DES is supported. GSS aims to be internationalized, thread safe and portable. GSS is written in ANSI/ISO C89, and has been ported to numerous platforms, even cross compiled to embedded platforms such as Motorola Coldfire. GSS is a GNU project, and is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 3 or later. Improving GSS is costly, but you can help! We are looking for organizations that find GSS useful and wish to contribute back. You can contribute by reporting bugs, improve the software, or donate money or equipment. Commercial support contracts for GSS are available, and they help finance continued maintenance. Simon Josefsson Datakonsult AB, a Stockholm based privately held company, is currently funding GSS maintenance. We are always looking for interesting development projects. The project's web page is available at: http://www.gnu.org/software/gss/ All manuals are available from: http://www.gnu.org/software/gss/manual/ Specifically, the following formats are available. The main manual: http://www.gnu.org/software/gss/manual/gss.html - HTML format http://www.gnu.org/software/gss/manual/gss.pdf - PDF format Also useful are code coverage charts which indicate parts of the source code that needs to be tested better by the included self-tests: http://www.gnu.org/software/gss/coverage/ If you need help to use GNU GSS, or want to help others, you are invited to join our help-gss mailing list, see: <http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gss>.
