+SASL is a method for adding authentication support to connection-based
+protocols. To use SASL, a protocol includes a command for identifying and
+authenticating a user to a server and for optionally negotiating protection
+of subsequent protocol interactions. If its use is negotiated, a security
+layer is inserted between the protocol and the connection.
+
+This is the Cyrus SASL API implentation. It can be used on the client or
+server side to provide authentication. See RFC 2222 for more information.
