Foil 130 The GSS-API Security Interface

From Remarks on Internet and Java Security Basic Information Track Computational Science Course CPS616 -- Spring Semester 1999. by Geoffrey Fox, Mehmet Sen
1 Generic Security Services Application Program Interface (GSS-API) hides from its callers the details of the specific underlying security mechanism, leading to better application portability, and moving generally in the direction of a better interworking capability.
2 The GSS-API also completely separates the choice of security mechanism from choice of communications protocol.
3 A GSS-API implementation is viable across virtually any communications method.
4 GSS_API is an Internet and X/Open standard.
