Technical Summary
This document describes the preparation of Unicode strings
representing user names and passwords for comparison. The document
defines the "SASLprep" profile of the "stringprep" algorithm to be
used for both user names and passwords. This profile is intended to
be used by Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) mechanisms
(such as PLAIN, CRAM-MD5, and DIGEST-MD5) as well as other protocols
exchanging user names or passwords.
