Kerberos

The Internet is a very insecure place. Many of the current protocols don't provide adequate security, leaving web applications that send unencrypted passwords over the network vulnerable to malicious hackers using password "sniffing" tools. To combat these deficiencies, researchers at MIT created an authentication protocol called Kerberos. Kerberos: The Definitive Guide provides a thorough introduction to Kerberos terminology and explores all the details of the protocol. Everything is here, from implementation to troubleshooting, including ways to add Kerberos to software packages.

Jason Garman is currently working with computer forensics for the national defense and intelligence communities at Aegis Research Corporation. Previously, he worked at several biotech firms in the Washington, DC area where he helped clients design and implement secure yet easy to use research networks. Jason enjoys working with the practical application of tools and techniques to solve computer and network security problems.
