This way of authentication is common for + * SMTP, POP3, IMAP and LDAP. + * + * SASL is one way strong encryption and therefore useful for authentication, + * but not for secret information transfer. + * It is possibly to prove with SASL to know a shared secret like a password. + * It is not possible with SASL to transfer any other information in an + * encrypted way. For that purpose OpenPGP or SSL are useful. + * + * Currently PLAIN (RFC 2595), LOGIN (not really a SASL mechanism, but + * used like that in IMAP and SMTP), CRAM-MD5 (RFC 2195) and + * DIGEST-MD5 (RFC 2831) authentication are supported. PLAIN and + * LOGIN transmit the credentials in the clear (apart from a possible + * base64 encoding). + * + * For KDE 3.2, the API has been extended to allow transparent use of + * all currently supported SASL mechanisms.
