GNU SASL is a modern C library that implement the standard network security protocol Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL). The framework itself and a couple of common SASL mechanisms are implemented. GNU SASL can be used by network applications for IMAP, SMTP, XMPP and similar protocols to provide authentication services. Support for the more recent SCRAM-SHA-1, OPENID20 and SAML20 mechanisms is included.
