Abstract | ||||
The Kerberos Authentication Protocol, developed at MIT, has been widely adopted by other organizations to identify clients for network services across an insecure network to protect the privacy and integrity of communications with those services. While Version 5 has been invented (specified in RFC1510) to overcome Version 4 environmental shortcomings and technical deficiencies, it has still some issues to be managed. One of the basic initials of the Kerberos protocol in the inter-realm environment is the process of sharing keys among realms to guarantee interoperability between them. This paper provides a proposal for simplifying this process and allowing shared inter-realm keys through the employment of the digital envelop technique. | ||||
