GSS-API<br />

Generic Security Services Application Programming Interface (GSS-API)<br />

• provides an abstract interface which provides security services <strong>for</strong> use<br />

in distributed applications<br />

• but isolates callers from specific security mechanisms and<br />

implementations.<br />

GSS-API peers establish a common security mechanism <strong>for</strong> security context<br />

establishment either through administrative action, or through negotiation.<br />

GSS-API is specified in:<br />

• J. Linn, "Generic Security Service API v2", RFC 2078 [8]<br />

• J. Wray, "Generic Security Service API v2: C-bindings", RFC 2744 [9].<br />
