+ GNU SASL is an implementation of the Simple Authentication and Security Layer
+ framework and a few common SASL mechanisms. SASL is used by network servers
+ (e.g., IMAP, SMTP) to request authentication from clients, and in clients to
+ authenticate against servers.
+
+ GNU SASL consists of a library (libgsasl), a command line utility (gsasl) to
+ access the library from the shell, and a manual. The library includes support
+ for the framework (with authentication functions and application data privacy
+ and integrity functions) and at least partial support for the CRAM-MD5,
+ EXTERNAL, GSSAPI, ANONYMOUS, PLAIN, SECURID, DIGEST-MD5, SCRAM-SHA-1,
+ SCRAM-SHA-1-PLUS, LOGIN, and NTLM mechanisms."
