Description

Dear @memcached team,

In first, I wish you a Happy New Year!

20 November 2008: CRAM-MD5 to Historic:

29 June 2017: CRAM-MD5 to Historic:

July 2011: RFC6331: Moving DIGEST-MD5 to Historic:

August 2021: RFC9051: Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) - Version 4rev2:
"Replaced DIGEST-MD5 SASL mechanism with SCRAM-SHA-256. DIGEST-MD5 was deprecated."

I add same about SCRAM-MD5.

There are now:

  • July 2010: RFC5802: Salted Challenge Response Authentication Mechanism (SCRAM): SASL and GSS-API Mechanisms: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5802 (SCRAM-SHA-1 and SCRAM-SHA-1-PLUS)
  • July 2010: RFC5803: Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) Schema for Storing Salted: Challenge Response Authentication Mechanism (SCRAM) Secrets: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5803
  • November 2015: RFC7677: SCRAM-SHA-256 and SCRAM-SHA-256-PLUS: Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) Mechanisms: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7677

Soon:

Research direction
