Kerberos network authentication system [RFC 1510]
verifies the identities of principals, (e.g., a workstation user or a server)
on an open (unprotected) network. Kerberos performs authentication as a trusted
third-party authentication service by using conventional cryptography.
Currently the Kerberos working group is working on improving the
interoperability of these systems while improving security. The working group
on Kerberized Internet Negotiation of Keys facilitates centralized key
management for IPsec security associations as defined in RFC 2400.
Participating systems will use the Kerberos architecture as defined in RFC 1510
(and its successors) for key management.
Keywords:
Security, authentication.
