This paper will focus on the first step in establishing network security, authentication, and describe the basic function of both RSA and Kerberos as used to provide authentication and confidential data transfer services. It will also discuss the Digital Signature Standard and the market acceptance of each. Proper identification of the principals involved in a network dialog is a necessary first step in providing network-wide security comparable to that of stand-alone systems.
