Generic Security Service Application Programming Interface Naming Extensions
RFC 6680, “Generic Security Service Application Programming Interface Naming Extensions”, is a Proposed Standard document published in August 2012 by N. Williams, L. Johansson, S. Hartman, S. Josefsson. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Generic Security Service Application Programming Interface (GSS-API) provides a simple naming architecture that supports name-based authorization. This document introduces new APIs that extend the GSS-API naming model to support name attribute transfer between GSS-API peers.
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.
