An Authentication Protocol based on Kerberos
Jayati Ghosh Dastidar · International Journal of Engineering Research and Applications · 2017
In this paper a single-sign-on authentication protocol has been proposed.The protocol is a derivative of the Kerberos protocol that uses one server for authentication purposes, except that it is simpler in its' implementation.Nonces and time-stamps are used to prevent replay attacks.The encryption schemes are all based on symmetric key cryptography.The protocol also is not susceptible to reflection attacks.The paper discusses the working of the protocol and analyses the strengths and weaknesses of the same.
