Network Services - Kerberos Opspack
Kerberos is a computer network authentication protocol that works on the basis of ’tickets’ to allow nodes communicating over a non-secure network to prove their identity to one another in a secure manner. Its designers aimed it primarily as a client–server model and it provides mutual authentication, both the user and the server verify each other’s identity. Kerberos protocol messages are protected against eavesdropping and replay attacks.
