SASL
Simple Authentication and Security Layer — a standardized authentication framework that decouples authentication mechanisms from application protocols. It is widely used in SMTP, LDAP, XMPP, and other protocols, providing a challenge-response model for identity verification.
Timeline (last 90 days)
SASL (Simple Authentication and Security Layer) is an authentication framework decoupled from specific authentication algorithms, and is widely used in protocols such as SMTP, LDAP, and XMPP.
IRCv3's SASL authentication is completed during the connection establishment phase through a standardized challenge-response process, replacing the traditional NickServ approach of sending passwords in plaintext to a channel.
Commonly used SASL mechanisms include PLAIN (used with TLS, sending the account name and password) and EXTERNAL (based on client certificates, requiring no password transmission).
IRCv3 introduces features such as server timestamps (server-time), message history playback (chat history), account authentication (SASL), and message receipts and editing.
