RFC 4401: A Pseudo-Random Function (PRF) API Extension for the Generic Security Service Application Program Interface (GSS-API)

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

This document defines a Pseudo-Random Function (PRF) extension to the Generic Security Service Application Program Interface (GSS-API) for keying application protocols given an established GSS-API security context. The primary intended use of this function is to key secure session layers that do not or cannot use GSS-API per-message message integrity check (MIC) and wrap tokens for session protection.
