Hi,
I'm a graduate student, with an interest in computer security. I've
been reading a bit about Kerberos, and it strikes me that the main
limitation is that it really only works for single-user workstations.
This seems like a really big limitation.
Could somebody tell me if there are any plans to implement user-level
authentication in kerberos? As far as I can see, this isn't implemented
in beta6, nor planned for beta 7 is it ?
why hasn't this problem been addressed ? would it mean a really
fundamental change to the kerberos system ?
While I'm wasting all your valuable time, I was wondering if anybody
knows of any systems that implement packet level encryption? This seems
like the way to go for secure systems. Am I right in saying that ?
Thanks for your time in this matter
Daniel
