MIT-KC publishes new whitepaper on Kerberos-on-the-Web.

 

One of the major goals of the MIT-KC is to establish Kerberos as a
ubiquitous authentication mechanism on the Internet and also to make
Kerberos appropriate for new environments. One of the key efforts within the
MIT-KC directed at this goal is the Kerberos-on-the-Web (Kerb-Web) project.

 

The Kerberos-on-the-web project seeks initially to investigate the various
aspects of the development and deployment of Kerberos within the Web space.
This includes, among others:

(a) the use of the Kerberos authentication paradigm within the context of
web-authentication and web-services security,

(b) the possible architecture integration and interactions between the
Kerberos infrastructure and web-services security infrastructure,

(c) the possible enhancements of the Kerberos authentication protocol and
Kerberos token in order to address the requirements for Single-Sign-On (SSO)
on the Web and Web Identity Federation, and

(d) the potential re-use of existing Kerberos infrastructure investments in
enterprises and other organizations to support the deployment of
Kerberos-on-the-Web solutions.

 

In order to provide a starting point and context for discussions going
forward regarding Kerberos-on-the-web, the MIT-KC has published a whitepaper
on this topic.  The whitepaper can be found in the following location:

 

http://kerberos.org/software/kerbweb.pdf

 

The MIT-KC would appreciate your inputs and comments regarding this
whitepaper, and also your suggestions and recommendations more broadly
regarding the Kerberos-on-the-Web project.

 

Regards.

 

Thomas Hardjono
