Title: The Channel Conjunction Mechanism (CCM) for GSS

This document describes a suite of new mechanisms under the GSS [RFC 2743].
Some protocols, such as RPCSEC_GSS [RFC 2203], use GSS to authenticate every
message transfer, thereby incurring significant overhead due to the costs
of cryptographic computation. While hardware-based cryptographic
accelerators can mitigate such overhead, it is more likely that
acceleration will be available for lower layer protocols, such as IPsec
as a way to allow GSS mechanism- independent upper layer protocols to
leverage the data stream protections of lower layer protocols, without the
inconvenience of modifying the upper layer protocol to do so.
