> SASL can optionally insert a security layer in the data stream for a connection.  The security layer encrypts/signs/decrypts the data stream.  In this way it is architecturally similar to SSL:  It performs a handshake in-the-clear and then inserts itself into the stream to provide link security.
> Without this support, mechanisms like GSSAPI (Kerberos5) cannot be used.
