In a workstation environment, the user often has complete control over the workstation. Workstation operating systems therefore cannot be trusted to accurately identify their users. Some other method of authentication is needed, and this motivated the design and implementation of the Kerberos authentication service.Kerberos is based on the Needham and Schroeder trusted third-party authentication model, using private-key encryption. Each user and network server has a key (like a password) known only to it and the Kerberos database. A database server uses this knowledge to authenticate network entities to one another.The encryption used to achieve this authentication, the protocols currently in use and the protocols proposed for future use are described.
