Kerberos Authentication

Kerberos is an authentication system developed at MIT. Encryption in Kerberos is based on DES. Kerberos V4 support is no longer supplied as part of Secure RPC, but a client-side implementation of Kerberos V5, which uses RPCSEC_GSS, is included with the Solaris 8 release. For more information see Chapter 21, SEAM Overview.
