# GSS README -- Important introductory notes.

GNU Generic Security Service Library implements the GSS-API framework
and a Kerberos V5 mechanism.  GSS-API and Kerberos V5 is used by
network clients and servers to perform authentication, often using the
SSH protocol for remote access or SMTP/IMAP/POP3 for email.

The [GNU GSS web page](https://www.gnu.org/software/gss/) provides
current information about the project.
