	Title           : Extended Generic Security Service Mechanism Inquiry APIs
	Author(s)       : N. Williams
	Filename        : draft-ietf-kitten-extended-mech-inquiry-05.txt

This document introduces new application programming interfaces
(APIs) to the Generic Security Services API (GSS-API) for extended
mechanism attribute inquiry.  These interfaces are primarily intended
to reduce instances of hardcoding of mechanism identifiers in GSS
applications.

These interfaces include: mechanism attributes and attribute sets, a
function for inquiring the attributes of a mechanism, a function for
indicating mechanisms that posses given attributes, and a function
for displaying mechanism attributes.
