GNU Libidn is an implementation of the Stringprep, Punycode, and IDNA
|
|
specifications defined by the IETF Internationalized Domain Names (IDN)
|
|
working group. It is used to prepare internationalized strings (such as
|
|
domain name labels, usernames, and passwords) in order to increase the
|
|
likelihood that string input and string comparison work in ways that make
|
|
sense for typical users throughout the world.
|
|
|
|
The library contains a generic Stringprep implementation that does Unicode
|
|
3.2 NFKC normalization, mapping and prohibition of characters, and
|
|
bidirectional character handling. Profiles for iSCSI, Kerberos 5, Nameprep,
|
|
SASL, and XMPP are included. Punycode and ASCII Compatible Encoding (ACE) via
|
|
IDNA are supported.
