Kerberos

Kerberos is a third-party authentication service that may be used to support Single Sign-On. Kerberos (http://www.kerberos.org/) was the name of the three-headed dog that guarded the entrance to Hades (also called Cerberus) in Greek mythology. The three heads of the mythical Kerberos were meant to signify the three “A”s of AAA systems: authentication, authorization, and accountability. In reality, the original Kerberos mainly provided authentication. Some now say that the three heads of Kerberos represent the client, the KDC, and the server.

Exam Warning

Kerberos was developed under Project Athena at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Kerberos is extremely testable; it is best to learn how Kerberos works.
