A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Kitten (GSS-API Next Generation) Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Generic Security Service API Version 2 : Java Bindings Update
Author(s) : M. Upadhyay, S. Malkani
Filename : draft-ietf-kitten-rfc2853bis-01.txt
Pages : 102
Date : 2006-1-31
The Generic Security Services Application Program Interface (GSS-API)
offers application programmers uniform access to security services
atop a variety of underlying cryptographic mechanisms. This document
updates the Java bindings for the GSS-API that are specified in RFC
2853 [JGSS]. This document obsoletes RFC 2853 [JGSS] by making
specific and incremental clarifications and corrections to it in
response to identification of transcription errors and implementation
experience. The only note-worthy changes are in sections 4.12.1,
6.3.2, and 6.8.1 of RFC 2853 [JGSS], which are replaced by the
sections 5.12.1, 7.3.2, and 7.8.1 of this document, where numerical
constants were either added or modified.
The GSS-API is described at a language independent conceptual level
in RFC 2743 [GSSAPIv2-UPDATE]. The GSS-API allows a caller
application to authenticate a principal identity, to delegate rights
to a peer, and to apply security services such as confidentiality and
integrity on a per-message basis. Examples of security mechanisms
defined for GSS-API are The Simple Public-Key GSS-API Mechanism
[SPKM] and The Kerberos Version 5 GSS-API Mechanism [KERBV5].

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-kitten-rfc2853bis-01.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
