Package: Shishi - A RFC 1510(bis) implementation
System name: shishi
Type: GNU

Description:
Shishi is a (still incomplete) implementation of the RFC 1510 and RFC 1510bis 
network authentication system.  RFC 1510 can be used to authenticate users in 
distributed systems.

Shishi contains a library (\'libshishi\') that can be used by application 
developers to add support for RFC 1510.  Shishi contains a command line utility 
(\'shishi\') that is used by users to interface with the library, to acquire 
and manage tickets (and more).  Included are also a TELNET client and server 
(based on GNU InetUtils) for remote network login, and a PAM module for host 
security.  Of course, a manual documenting user aspects as well as the 
programming API is included.

Shishi currently supports AS/TGS exchanges for acquiring tickets, and the AP 
exchange for performing client and server authentication. Shishi is 
internationalized; error and status messages can be translated into the users\' 
language; username and passwords can be converted into any available character 
set (normally including ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8) and be processed using an 
experimental Stringprep profile.  The des-cbc-md4, des-cbc-md5, 
des3-cbc-sha1-kd, aes128-cts-hmac-sha1-96, and aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96 
encryption types, and the rsa-md4-des, rsa-md5-des, hmac-sha1-des3-kd, 
hmac-sha1-96-aes128, hmac-sha1-96-aes256 checksum types are supported.

Shishi is developed for the GNU/Linux system, but runs on over 20 platforms 
including most major Unix platforms and Windows.

Shishi is free software licensed under the GNU Public License.
