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

Start by inspecting net-smtp's existing authentication entry points and tests to determine how SMTP mechanisms are registered and negotiated. Compare the current implementation with the listed SCRAM specifications; done means the requested SCRAM variants, including channel-binding variants where supported, are implemented and covered by tests.
