Abstract

This document defines and formalizes the concept of stackable pseudo- mechanisms for the Generic Security Service Application Programming Interface (GSS-API) and introduces a framework to support stackable pseudo-mechanisms and mechanism compositing. Stackable GSS-API pseudo-mechanisms allow for the composition of new mechanisms that combine features from multiple mechanisms. Stackable mechanisms that add support for Perfect Forward Security (PFS), data compression, additional authentication factors, etc... are facilitated by this document.
