Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2015-08-25. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document registers the SASL mechanisms SCRAM-SHA-256 and SCRAM- SHA-256-PLUS. It also updates the SCRAM registration procedures of RFC 5802. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-hansen-scram-sha256/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-hansen-scram-sha256/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. This is a second IETF last call. The first time this was aiming for informational but as a result of that proposed standard was deemed necessary.
