       Title     : Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL)

This document describes a method for adding authentication support to 
connection-based protocols.  To use this specification, a protocol includes
a command for identifying and authenticating a user to a server and for 
optionally negotiating protection of subsequent protocol interactions.  If 
its use is negotiated, a security layer is inserted between the protocol 
and the connection.  This document describes how a protocol specifies such 
a command, defines several mechanisms for use by the command, and defines 
the protocol used for carrying a negotiated security layer over the 
connection.

NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in
      MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
      feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
      command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
      a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
      exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
      "multipart" MIME messages (i.e., documents which have been split
      up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
      how to manipulate these messages.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader 
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
of the Internet-Draft.
