Kerberized NFS in a NetApp Storage System Using a Unix-Based Kerberos Authentication Server
Overview Kerberos is a complex network authentication system that was introduced by MIT in 1989. In Greek mythology, Kerberos was a ferocious three-headed dog that guarded the entrance to the underworld (Hades). Kerberos ensured that only the dead, not living souls, entered Hades. Here Kerberos is a system that employs strong data encryption algorithms (for example, AES, DES, and 3DES) along with message digest algorithms (for example, CRC-32, MD5, and SHA1) to ensure data confidentiality and integrity during the authentication process. Confidentiality ensures that only parties with a shared key can encrypt or decrypt the data. Integrity ensures that the data is not tampered with while being transmitted across the network.
