Notes on "Secure FTP" Implementation =============================================== Mark Eichin , Cygnus Support last modified: 1995 Jan 14 =============================================== This implementation is supplied by Cygnus Support for inclusion in the MIT Kerberos V5 Release. Copyrights: The original BSD ftp implementation is: * Copyright (c) 1980, 1983, 1985, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991 Regents of the University of California. History and Credits (as of 1995 Jan 14) ================================================ Steve Lunt at Bellcore developed the original V4 kerberized ftp. He also started writing the IETF ftpsec draft at the time. This was available to the public, and Cygnus eventually incorporated it into CNS V4. Steve Lunt left Bellcore, and dropped out of the computer security field altogether, after handing the draft off to Marc Horowitz at OpenVision, who was working on a commercial GSSAPI implementation. Marc Horowitz left OpenVision and is back at MIT currently; in the mean time, Cygnus took the V4 ftp and upgraded it to use GSSAPI and draft-08, as well as integrating it into the Kerberos V5 autoconf based configuration scheme. Bill Schoofs supplied corrections to the implementation to more correctly match draft 8, as well as correcting some of the remaining KERBEROS_V4 code. Karri Balk - Contractor supplied additional corrections based on interoperation testing with non-free implementations. Marc Horowitz has indicated that a draft 9 is forthcoming, with some clarifications based on experience with this implementation. No other free implementation of draft-8 is known at this time.
