Where to Get More Information

Two documents provide descriptions of the GSS-API (and are somewhat more oriented toward the GSS-API implementor than to the application developer). The Generic Security Service Application Program Interface document (ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2743.txt) provides a conceptual overview of the GSS-API, while the Generic Security Service API Version 2: C-Bindings document (ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2744.txt) discusses the specifics of the C-language-based GSS-API.
