Technical Summary
This document specifies version 3 of the Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
security protocol (RPCSEC_GSS). This protocol provides support for
multi-principal authentication of client hosts and user principals to
server (constructed by generic composition), security label
assertions for multi-level and type enforcement, structured privilege
assertions, and channel bindings.
Working Group Summary
The journey within the working group for this document and the
technologies that it encompasses has been a somewhat longer process
than the norm. However, the results are that many of the features
have been implemented independently and the feedback has been
effectively folded back into this document. Thus the document
quality is very good and the resultant features have been constructed
thoughfully and with working group consensus.
Document Quality
From the above, the process, from a time perspective, has been
longer than most but represents thoughtfulness, implementation
feedback and the results have been a high quality document.
The editing and feedback has been done by experience working
group members with input from the entire community.
Overall, I, as document shepherd and working group co-chair,
am very pleased with the results.
