Description
The stream-based methods in `GSSContext` have been deprecated in this release since GSS-API works on opaque tokens and has not defined a wire protocol. This includes the overloaded forms of the `initSecContext`, `acceptSecContext`, `wrap`, `unwrap`, `getMIC`, and `verifyMIC` methods that have an `InputStream` argument. These methods have already been removed in RFC 8353.
