This chapter we will continue our discussion on authentication applications and more precisely we will talk about kerberos in detail. kerberos versions, threats and vulnerabilities will also be discussed. | Network Security Lecture 25 Presented by: Dr. Munam Ali Shah Part – 2 (e): Incorporating security in other parts of the network Summary of the Previous Lecture In previous lecture we explored talked about Needham-Schroeder Protocol and will see how does it work Digital Signature Standard (DSS) and Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) were discussed We briefly talked about authentication applications And studied Kerberos (which is an authentication service) Outlines of today’s lecture We will continue our discussion on Authentication Applications and more precisely we will talk about Kerberos in detail Kerberos versions, threats and vulnerabilities will also be discussed Objectives You would be able to present an understanding Authentication Application.

Kerberos is used to authenticate user to servers and servers to users Three approaches for security Rely on client workstation to ensure the identity of its users and rely on each server to enforce a security policy based on user id. Require the client system to authentication themselves to servers, but trust the client system concerning the id of users. .
