Clarified how the library can be used and how the data that comes out of the library (auth tokens) can be handled. It was very important to me when I was first developing this project that I get to choose my token transport mechanism so I can choose how to integrate it into my own app; I imagine lots of other developers are in the same boat.

This projects provides a C# / .Net interface to the Windows Integrated Authentication API, better known as SSPI (Security Service Provider Interface).
This projects provides a C# / .Net interface to the Windows Integrated Authentication API, better known as SSPI (Security Service Provider Interface). This allows a custom client / server system to authenticate users using their existing logon credentials. This allows a developer to provide Single-Sign-On in their application.

The API provides raw access to authentication tokens so that authentication can be easily integrated into any networking system - you can send the tokens over a socket, a remoting interface, or heck even a serial port if you want; they're just bytes. Clients and servers may exchange encrypted and signed messages, and the server can perform client impersonation.

The project is provided as a .Net 4.0 assembly, but can just as easily be upgraded to .Net 4.5 or later. The solution file can be opened by Visual Studio 2010 SP1, Visual Studio 2012, or later Visual Studio editions.
