Public Key Cryptography for Initial Authentication in Kerberos (PKINIT)

Liming Zhu, B. Tung

Open publisher page 105 citations

Abstract

This document describes protocol extensions (hereafter called PKINIT) to the Kerberos protocol specification. These extensions provide a method for integrating public key cryptography into the initial authentication exchange, by using asymmetric-key signature and/or encryption algorithms in pre-authentication data fields. [STANDARDS- TRACK]
