It is +licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License. + +The library contains a generic Stringprep implementation (with Unicode +3.2 NFKC normalization, table mapping of characters, and the +Bidirectional Character handling), and currently two Stringprep +profiles; Nameprep (for IDN) and Kerberos5. The library also +implements Punycode, and the low-level IDNA operations. A high-level +API for handling internationalized domain names is being developed. + +The Stringprep API consists of two main functions, one for converting +data from the system's native representation into UTF-8, and one +function to perform the Stringprep processing. Each stringprep +profile has a corresponding CPP macro. Adding a new Stringprep for +your application is straightforward. The Punycode API consists of one +encoding function and one decoding function. The IDNA API consists of +the ToASCII and ToUnicode functions. + +The library is currently used by forthcoming SASL and Kerberos +libraries to process user names and passwords before they are input to +cryptographic operations. It is also used by experimental code for +domain name related purposes. + +Libidn is developed for the GNU/Linux system, but runs on over 20 Unix +platforms (including Linux, Solaris, IRIX, AIX, and Tru64) and +Windows. + +The project page of the library is available at: +http://www.josefsson.org/libstringprep/ + +For more information see: +http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/idn-charter.html +http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-hoffman-stringprep-07.txt +http://www.i-d-n.net/ + +Further information including paid contract development: +Simon Josefsson + +---------------------------------------------------------------------- +Copyright (C) 2002 Simon Josefsson + +Copying and distribution of this file, with or without modification, +are permitted in any medium without royalty provided the copyright +notice and this notice are preserved. -- 2.11.4.GIT
