 Date: 21/03/2008
 Authors: Nicolas Williams
 Working Group: Kitten (GSS-API Next Generation) (kitten)
 Formats: txt
This document introduces new application programming interfaces (APIs) to the Generic Security Services API (GSS-API) for extended mechanism attribute inquiry. These interfaces are primarily intended to reduce instances of hardcoding of mechanism identifiers in GSS applications. These interfaces include: mechanism attributes and attribute sets, a function for inquiring the attributes of a mechanism, a function for indicating mechanisms that posses given attributes, and a function for displaying mechanism attributes.
