There's no such thing. GSSAPI mechanisms are identified by OIDs, which are
assigned by the owner of the parent arc.  There is no central registry, and
certainly not one run by IANA.

SSH can be used with any GSSAPI mechanism that includes the features it
needs. No registration is required or possible.


The same problem affects other algorithm and method identifiers, too. All
of these namespaces include provision for privately-assigned names, and
it's common for algorithms with such names to become widely deployed and
even considered best practice without any sort of registration.
