I'm currently implementing cross-realm Zephyr for use here at CMU.
The changes required, while not extremely significant, are fairly
subtle. I'm treating realms as pseudo-clients rather than treat every
server in another realm as a client. A realm will subscribe to
class-instance pairs on behalf of its users. Believe it or not, this
will require no changes to the Zephyr protocol (not including the
brain dump).
I am going to extend the protocol a little to allow for easier
updating of session keys for clients and realms. The main change here
will be for the server to hold the time the session key was issued,
and for the client to hold on to its session key independent of the
ticket file.
