Abstract
How can and why should the Kerberos authentication standard (RFC1510) be extended to support public-key cryptography? These are the questions which we explore in this paper. We outline three proposed extensions to integrate public-key cryptography into Kerberos, and make some basic performance comparisons between them. We also comment on the security issues public-key enhancements introduce to the Kerberos trust model. A brief introduction to Kerberos and public-key cryptography is provided for those unfamiliar with these security systems.
