# Shishi README -- Important introductory notes.
Shishi implements the Kerberos network authentication system. Shishi
can be used to authenticate users in distributed systems, and is most
often used via GSS-API for SSH or via SASL for IMAP/POP3.
The [Shishi web page](https://www.gnu.org/software/shishi/) provides
current information about the project.
