Shishi is an implementation of the Kerberos 5 network authentication
system. Shishi can be used to authenticate users in distributed
systems. Shishi is part of a GNU system.
* Version 0.0.36 (released 2008-02-14)
** Fix warnings in generated man pages (silence lintian).
** Update gnulib files.
Shishi contains a library ('libshishi') that can be used by application
developers to add support for Kerberos 5. Shishi contains a command
line utility ('shishi') that is used by users to acquire and manage
tickets (and more). The server side, a Key Distribution Center (KDC),
is implemented by 'shishid', and support X.509 authenticated TLS via
GnuTLS. Of course, a manual documenting usage aspects as well as the
programming API is included.
Shishi currently supports AS/TGS exchanges for acquiring tickets,
pre-authentication, the AP exchange for performing client and server
authentication, and SAFE/PRIV for integrity/privacy protected
application data exchanges. The DES, 3DES, ARCFOUR, and AES
cryptographic algorithms are supported.
Shishi aims to be internationalized, thread safe and portable. Shishi
is written in ANSI/ISO C89, and has been ported to numerous platforms,
including most major Unix platforms and Windows, running on devices
including iPAQ handhelds and S/390 mainframes. Shishi can also be cross
compiled to Microsoft Windows using mingw32 and embedded platforms such
as the Motorola Coldfire.
