Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) is a challenge-response authentication method often used with IMAP, LDAP, POP, SMTP and XMPP. SASL only handles authentication, and another mechanism (such as TSL) is needed for encrypting transferred content.

IETF: [Simple Authentication and Security Layer (sasl) Working Group], page has links to related RFCs.
