+GNU SASL is an implementation of the Simple Authentication and Security Layer
+framework and a few common SASL mechanisms.
+
+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 ANONYMOUS,
+CRAM-MD5, DIGEST-MD5, EXTERNAL, GS2-KRB5, GSSAPI, LOGIN, NTLM, PLAIN,
+SCRAM-SHA-1, SCRAM-SHA-1-PLUS, SAML20, OPENID20, and SECURID mechanisms.
+
+The library is easily ported because it does not do network communication by
+itself, but rather leaves it up to the calling application. The library is
+flexible with regards to the authorization infrastructure used, as it utilizes a
+callback into the application to decide whether a user is authorized or not.
+
+GNU SASL has been split into 2 ports:
+- security/gsasl: the command-line utility
+- security/libgsasl: the library
