A Pseudo-Random Function API Extension for the Generic Security Service Application Program Interface
RFC 4401, “A Pseudo-Random Function API Extension for the Generic Security Service Application Program Interface”, is a Proposed Standard document published in February 2006 by N. Williams. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document defines a Pseudo-Random Function (PRF) extension to the Generic Security Service Application Program Interface (GSS-API) for keying application protocols given an established GSS-API security context. The primary intended use of this function is to key secure session layers that do not or cannot use GSS-API per-message message integrity check (MIC) and wrap tokens for session protection. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
