+ <h3><a name="abartlet_gensec_paper">An Introduction to GENSEC</a></h3>
+
+ <div class="article">
+ <p>Samba Team member <a href="http://samba.org/~abartlet/">Andrew
+ Bartlett</a> has written a paper on Samba4's GENSEC security subsystem and
+ client credentials interfaces. Andrew will be presenting the information
+ in this paper at <a href="http://sambaxp.org/">sambaXP</a> next week.</p>
+
+ <p>From Andrew's introduction:</p>
+
+ <blockquote>
+ <p>The series of subsystems presented in this paper are the culmination
+ of four years of thought and development, since the first 'Authentication
+ rewrite' work on the then Samba HEAD development branch back in 2001.</p>
+
+ <p>Because Samba takes the challenge to match Microsoft's latest
+ releases exactly, the issues surrounding Active Directory and modern
+ security technologies quickly came to the fore. It is no longer possible
+ to just pretend to be NT4 and hope that the clients did not expect any
+ particularly difficult behaviour. With this incarnation of Samba these
+ challenges are being tackled, not just worked around.</p>
+ </blockquote>
+
+ <p>As he did with Active Directory in his
+ <a href="/samba/news/team/#abartlet_thesis">Samba4 thesis</a>,
+ Andrew does a nice job of detailing the various GENSEC components.
+ For the complete paper (in PDF), see
+ <a href="/samba/news/articles/gensec-white-paper.pdf">GENSEC - Designing
+ a security subsystem</a>.</p>
