The Secure Shell protocol (SSH) is a protocol for secure remote login
and other secure network services over an insecure network.
The Generic Security Service Application Program Interface (GSS-API)
provides security services to callers in a mechanism-independent
fashion.
This memo describes methods for using the GSS-API for authentication
and key exchange in SSH. It defines an SSH user authentication
method that uses a specified GSS-API mechanism to authenticate a user,
and a family of SSH key exchange methods that use GSS-API to
authenticate a Diffie-Hellman key exchange.
This memo also defines a new host public key algorithm that can be
used when no operations are needed using a host's public key, and a
new user authentication method that allows an authorization name to
be used in conjunction with any authentication that has already
occurred as a side-effect of GSS-API-based key exchange.
