The Security User Group
Network Security: The Kerberos Approach
Tuesday, March 9, 1993
6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
The focus of this presentation will be on the challenges of providing
security for the cooperative electronic workplace, ones that aspire to
location and scale independence in the client-server idiom. It begins
by describing network security from a general point of view, including
the kinds of threats which result from operating in an open
environment. Then it describes effective approaches to meeting these
threats, moving from the theoretical to the practical. The Kerberos
network security system developed at MIT will be discussed, as well as
providing in-depth treatment of public-key techniques, the X.509
authentication model and the Internet Privacy Enhanced Mail (PEM).
Kerberos is the core of the Open Software Foundation's Distributed
Computing Environment (OSF/DCE), and the DCE extensions and
enhancements to Kerberos that made it into the de-facto standard for
network security will also be discussed. The nuts-and-bolts of
administration and integration of this technology with existing
environemtns will also be discussed.
