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