Authentication and Key Distribution in Computer Networks and Distributed Systems
13 Authentication and key distribution in computer networks and distributed systems Rolf Oppliger University of Berne Institute for Computer Science and Applied Mathematics {JAM) Neubruckstrasse 10, CH-3012 Bern Phone +41 31 631 89 51, Fax +41 31 631 39 65, [email protected] Abstract Authentication and key distribution systems are used in computer networks and dis tributed systems to provide security services at the application layer. There are several authentication and key distribution systems currently available, and this paper focuses on Kerberos (OSF DCE), NetSP, SPX, TESS and SESAME. The systems are outlined and reviewed with special regard to the security services they offer, the cryptographic techniques they use, their conformance to international standards, and their availability and exportability.

There are several authentication and key distribution systems currently available, and this paper focuses on Kerberos (OSF DCE), NetSP, SPX, TESS and SESAME. The systems are outlined and reviewed with special regard to the security services they offer, the cryptographic techniques they use, their conformance to international standards, and their availability and exportability. It is assumed that the reader of this paper is familiar with the funda mentals of cryptography, and the use of cryptographic techniques in computer networks and distributed systems (Oppliger, 1992 and Schneier, 1994). The following notation is used in this paper: • Capital letters are used to refer to principals (users, clients and servers). -

Kerberos Protocol: an Overview
Kerberos protocol: an overview Distributed Systems Fall 2002 Carlo Baliello Alessandro Basso Cinzia Di Giusto Faculty of Mathematical, Physical and Faculty of Mathematical, Physical and Faculty of Mathematical, Physical and Natural Science Natural Science Natural Science Università degli Studi di Udine, Italy Università degli Studi di Torino, Italy Università degli Studi di Udine, Italy 790311-P537 780608-P217 791017-P425 Hassan Khalil Daniel Machancoses École Nationale Superieure des Facultad de Informática Télécommunications de retagne, Universidad Politécnica de Valencia – France España 771218-P390 751001-P179 ABSTRACT The Kerberos Authentication Service, developed at MIT, provides a trusted third-party authentication to verify users’ identity. Here it is presented an overview of this protocol. The article can be logically divided in two parts, the first one describes the protocol, in the perspectives of the client and the server, focusing on how Kerberos achieve authentication. It is also given an idea of which are its limitations. The second part, instead, deals with practical arguments concerning Kerberos: it goes deep in some applications of Kerberos at two different levels: Cisco and the Operative System Windows 2000; and after that some results about performance are presented.
