[kitten] New Version Notification for draft-kaduk-kitten-gss-loop-02.txt (fwd)

[Benjamin Kaduk <[e-mail]>]

I made some minor edits to the body text and trimmed down the sample code 
to be more consistent with Greg's suggestions.  I think Greg wants the 
sample code trimmed even further (i.e., to not have anything in the bodies 
of the {send,receive}_token functions, and possibly not have them at all, 
but I prefer to be more concrete.

Is it reasonable to adopt this document as a working-group draft at this 
time?

I am becoming more convinced that we should have Java sample code as well 
as C, but due to some computer issues I don't have a java development 
environment available at the moment.  My Java is also quite rusty, so if 
someone else wants to chip in, that would be great.

Finally, the C sample code has a comment (in two places, actually):
/* It is safe to call gss_release_buffer twice on the same buffer. */
This could potentially be misleading, as I believe our conclusion was that 
2743/2744 do not explicitly require this to be safe.  However, we believe 
that it is safe in all known implementations, and that an implementation 
where it was not safe would be very difficult to use correctly.  Is it 
reasonable to leave this comment in place under the reasoning that it is 
describing the assumptions made by the sample code (as opposed to 
describing the behavior mandated by the specification)?

Thanks,

Ben

Abstract:
    This document specifies the generic structure of the negotiation loop
    to establish a GSS security context between initiator and acceptor.
    The control flow of the loop is indicated for both parties, including
    error conditions, and indications are given for where application-
    specific behavior must be specified.




Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submission
until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org.
