Kerberos V5 is an authentication system developed at MIT. It is a network
|
|
authentication protocol designed to provide strong authentication for
|
|
client/server applications by using secret-key cryptography. (Kerberos
|
|
5 is discussed in RFC 1510.)
|
|
|
|
This package provides Kerberos and GSSAPI (Generic Security Services
|
|
Application Programming Interface) development headers and libraries.
|
|
It also includes Kerberos ticket and principal tools.
|
|
|
|
N.B. Kerberized r-services, telnet and ftp services are now found in
|
|
the security/mit-krb5-appl package.
