CCSP SECUR Exam Cram 2 (642-501)

Created at MIT, Kerberos is designed to provide authentication for client/server applications using secret-key cryptography. Kerberos operates under similar principals as a certificate authority (CA) in that the Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC) is a trusted third party.

The KDC acts like a CA, and the KDC is a trusted third party.

Kerberos can use up to 128-bit encryption keys.

For the certification purposes only, Kerberos can use either a 40-bit or 56-bit Data Encryption Standard (DES) key.
