GSS is an implementation of the Generic Security Service Application Program Interface (GSS-API). GSS-API is used by network applications to implement security services. For example, an application can use GSS to authenticate a user against a SMTP or IMAP server for sending or receiving e-mail. GSS consists of a library, a manual, and a command line tool for debugging purposes.
Noteworthy changes since the last version: ** gss: The command line tool can now initialize and accept security contexts. This is useful for debugging. See the section "Invoking gss" in the manual for more information. ** i18n: Translations were updated. ** build: Update gnulib files. ** API and ABI modifications. No changes since last version. While written to be flexible with regards to different GSS mechanisms, the only currently supported mechanism is Kerberos V5 via GNU Shishi. Mutual and non-mutual authentication and channel bindings, 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.
