             Summary: Extend SASL protocol to handle Quality of Protection 
                 Key: JGRP-1883
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-1883
             Project: JGroups
          Issue Type: Feature Request
    Affects Versions: 3.5
            Reporter: Richard Achmatowicz
            Assignee: Bela Ban


SASL implementations generally provide authentication and encryption services to communication protocols.

At present, the JGroups SASL protocol layer handles only authentication of a client joining a group; it does not support encryption of messages (unicast and multicast) passing through the SASL layer. This is presently handled by the separate ENCRYPT layer.

It would be nice to provide an integrated and complete solution for authentication and encryption for JGroups based on SASL. This could be achieved by adding functionality from ENCRYPT to the SASL layer.
