Network Authentication Encryption Protocol Based on Kerberos: A Review

In this paper, we introduce the Kerberos network authentication protocol developed by MIT(that was developed in the Athena Project at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology). Kerberos deals with clients or users that request for services. A user requests an encrypted "ticket" from an authentication process that can then be used to request a particular service from a server. The user's password does not have to pass through the network. The principle of the system is to provide strong authentication for client server application by using secret key cryptography. Kerberos encryption schemes are proposed revisions that are provably satisfy such notions. In this paper, techniques to encrypt the data over the network communication process are discussed in our related work.
