A GSS-API Mechanism for the Extensible Authentication Protocol
RFC 7055, “A GSS-API Mechanism for the Extensible Authentication Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in December 2013 by S. Hartman, J. Howlett. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document defines protocols, procedures, and conventions to be employed by peers implementing the Generic Security Service Application Program Interface (GSS-API) when using the Extensible Authentication Protocol mechanism. Through the GS2 family of mechanisms defined in RFC 5801, these protocols also define how Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) applications use the Extensible Authentication Protocol.
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.
