	   GNU Secure Transport Initiative (GSTI)
           ---------------------------------------

This is a library which implements a basic part of the
protocol used by SSH to create a secure transport channel.

The drafts which describe the protocol used in the libraray can
be found in the doc/ directory:

*-architecture-*        Describes the design and the notation of SSH.
*-transport-*           How to build a secure low-level transport channel.
*-userauth-*            Protocol for the user authentication.


Please note that this library *cannot* be used to talk with SSH servers.
Even if they use the same protocol, the library is not a ssh client.

The library only includes all required algorithms to be in compliance
with the SSH drafts.

You need the Libgcrypt library from ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgcrypt


Some parts of the lib design are still in flux and the code need more
tests. So please consider the library as a beta version!
