(Apologies for cross-posting)

I am pleased to announce the release of the Moonshot GSS EAP mechanism implementation under the BSD licence, and the relicensing of PADL Software's Cyrus SASL GS2 implementation to the BSD licence. These implement draft-ietf-abfab-gss-eap-00 and RFC5801 respectively.

These mechanisms enable the use of EAP authentication methods for applications. SAML and RADIUS attributes may be exposed to applications for authorisation purposes through GSS-API Naming Extensions. The mechanism is also able to use EAP keying material exported by the EAP method for message integrity and confidentiality between client and server.

The source-code can be obtained from the Project Moonshot repository:

Many thanks to Luke Howard of PADL Software Pty for this excellent work.

Josh.
