What is Kerberos? Network authentication protocol Developed at MIT in the mid 1980s Available as open source or in supported commercial software

Why Kerberos? Sending usernames and passwords in the clear jeopardizes the security of the network. Each time a password is sent in the clear, there is a chance for interception.

Firewall vs. Kerberos? Firewalls make a risky assumption: that attackers are coming from the outside. In reality, attacks frequently come from within. Kerberos assumes that network connections (rather than servers and work stations) are the weak link in network security.

Design Requirements Interactions between hosts and clients should be encrypted. Must be convenient for users (or they won’t use it). Protect against intercepted credentials.

Cryptography Approach Private Key: Each party uses the same secret key to encode and decode messages. Uses a trusted third party which can vouch for the identity of both parties in a transaction. Security of third party is imperative.

How does Kerberos work? Instead of client sending password to application server: –Request Ticket from authentication server –Ticket and encrypted request sent to application server How to request tickets without repeatedly sending credentials? –Ticket granting ticket (TGT)

How does Kerberos work?: Ticket Granting Tickets

How does Kerberos Work?: The Ticket Granting Service

How does Kerberos work?: The Application Server

Applications Authentication Authorization Confidentiality Within networks and small sets of networks

Weaknesses and Solutions If TGT stolen, can be used to access network services. Only a problem until ticket expires in a few hours. Subject to dictionary attack.Timestamps require hacker to guess in 5 minutes. Very bad if Authentication Server compromised. Physical protection for the server.

The Competition: SSL

Limitation: Scalability Recent modifications attempt to address this problem Public key cryptography for Client Authentication and cross realm authentication Issues are not resolved
