	Title		: Generic Security Service API Version 2 : Java Bindings Update
	Author(s)	: M. Upadhyay, S. Malkani

The Generic Security Services Application Program Interface (GSS-API)offers application programmers uniform access to security services atop a variety of underlying cryptographic mechanisms.  This document updates the Java bindings for the GSS-API that are specified in
"Generic Security Service API version 2 : Java Bindings" (RFC2853).
This document obsoletes RFC 2853 by making specific and incremental
clarifications and corrections to it in response to identification of
transcription errors and implementation experience.

   The GSS-API is described at a language independent conceptual level
   in "Generic Security Service Application Program Interface Version 2,
   Update 1" (RFC2743).  The GSS-API allows a caller application to
   authenticate a principal identity, to delegate rights to a peer, and
   to apply security services such as confidentiality and integrity on a
   per-message basis.  Examples of security mechanisms defined for GSS-
   API are "The Simple Public-Key GSS-API Mechanism" (RFC2025) and "The
   Kerberos Version 5 GSS-API Mechanism (RFC4121).
