Kerberos Version 1.0 for OpenVMS Alpha and OpenVMS VAX, based on MIT

Kerberos Version 5 Release 1.0.5, is included on the OpenVMS Version 7.3

distribution media. (Kerberos documentation provided by MIT is included on the

OpenVMS documentation CD-ROM in HTML format.)

Kerberos is a network authentication protocol designed to provide strong

authentication for client/server applications by using secret-key cryptography.

Kerberos was created by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as a solution

to network security problems. The Kerberos protocol uses strong cryptography so

that a client can prove its identity to a server (and vice versa) across an insecure

network connection. After a client and server have used Kerberos to prove their

identity, they can also encrypt all of their communications to assure privacy and

data integrity.

General information about Kerberos is available from the following World Wide
