29<para>The <application>Cyrus <acronym>SASL</acronym></application> package
30contains a Simple Authentication and Security Layer, a method for adding
31authentication support to connection-based protocols. To use
32<acronym>SASL</acronym>, a protocol includes a command for identifying and
33authenticating a user to a server and for optionally negotiating protection of
34subsequent protocol interactions. If its use is negotiated, a security layer
35is inserted between the protocol and the connection.</para>
