Description

Dear @ruby team,

In first, I wish you a Happy New Year!

Can you add supports of :

  • SCRAM-SHA-1
  • SCRAM-SHA-1-PLUS
  • SCRAM-SHA-256
  • SCRAM-SHA-256-PLUS
  • SCRAM-SHA-512
  • SCRAM-SHA-512-PLUS
  • SCRAM-SHA3-512
  • SCRAM-SHA3-512-PLUS

You can add too:

  • SCRAM-SHA-224
  • SCRAM-SHA-224-PLUS
  • SCRAM-SHA-384
  • SCRAM-SHA-384-PLUS

"When using the SASL SCRAM mechanism, the SCRAM-SHA-256-PLUS variant SHOULD be preferred over the SCRAM-SHA-256 variant, and SHA-256 variants [RFC7677] SHOULD be preferred over SHA-1 variants [RFC5802]".

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the POP3 authentication implementation and identifying how supported SASL mechanisms are selected, then compare that scope with the requested SCRAM variants and channel-binding requirements. Done would require an agreed mechanism set and verified support.
