Package org.ietf.jgss Description

This package defines interfaces and classes for the Java bindings of the Generic Security Service API (GSS-API). The language-independent GSS-API Version 2 is specified in RFC 2743; the Java bindings are specified in RFC 2853 and subsequently in JSR 072.

JCSI supplies an implementation of this API for the Kerberos 5 mechanism, specified in RFC 1964. Please see the com.dstc.security.kerberos.gssapi package for details.
