is this asking where kerberos originated? kerberos originated at mit project athena. projec athena was jointly funded by DEC & IBM (i think $25m each). overall director had been in 545 tech. sq on multics. there was DEC sub director (that i don't remember name) and IBM sub director ... who had also been at 545 tech. sq in the science center (who also originated the compare&swap instruction, the mnemonic are his initials). my wife and I had done periodic audits of stuff at project athena. I have some recollection of one all day session walking thru the initial pass at the cross-domain authentication process. kerberos reference page http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/afs/andrew.cmu.edu/usr/shadow/www/kerberos.html note that cmu lab was ibm funding ... spawning afs, andrew toolkit/widgets, mach (in somewhat the same genre as cp/67 as a microkernel ... which has been used in number of implementations), camelot (which begat transarc) and the mit page: http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/www/index.html "what is kerberos" is at the bottom of the (above) index page. page at isi/usc: http://www.isi.edu/gost/info/kerberos we have some interest in certificateless digital signature authentication http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/index.html#aads in pk-init: http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/krb-wg-charter.html aka http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-cat-kerberos-pk-init-16.txt -- Anne & Lynn Wheeler | [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/ Internet trivia, 20th anniv: http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/rfcietff.htm ________________________________________________ Kerberos mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/kerberos
