A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-kitten-gssapi-channel-bindings-07.txt Technical Summary This document clarifies and generalizes the Generic Security Services Application Programming Interface (GSS-API) "channel bindings" facility, and imposes requirements on future GSS-API mechanisms and programming language bindings of the GSS-API. Working Group Summary This document is a product of the kitten working group. The working group discussions were uneventful. Document Quality There are no current implementations that we are aware of. However, with the recent publication on channel binding usage, RFC5056, it is expected that this guidance will help foster such interest with vendors. Personnel Shawn M.

Tim Polk has reviewed this document for the IESG. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
