Title:
Kerberos: An Authentication Service for Computer Networks
Abstract:
Today, computer systems offer many services to many users, who have different privileges. A computer system must be able to verify a user's identity. The process of verifying the user's identity is called authentication. Password-based authentication is not suited for computer networks, as passwords that are sent over the network can be intercepted and used to impersonate the user. Kerberos was developed to provide a more secure alternative to password-based authentication. In this talk, I will describe the basic Kerberos services and if time permits, I will discuss some additional features of Kerberos.
