* Clean room implementation. This means the copyright and license conditions are clear. * Internationalization. It handles non-ASCII username and passwords by using SASLprep. User visible strings used in the library (error messages) can be translated into the users' language. * Thread safe library. This library uses no global state and multiple concurrent SASL sessions are possibly (e.g. in a multithreaded server). * Portable. It should work on all Unix like operating systems, including Windows. The library itself should be portable to any C89 system, not even POSIX is required.
