Rochlis) Original-subject: Re: Internal network security Reposted-by: emv@ox.com (Edward Vielmetti) Here is the scenario and the goal: We have sensitive administrative data that can be accessed through local internet connections. We need to prevent eavesdropping on that data or forgery of that data. This is exactly the problem which MIT's Kerberos system was designed to solve. You can get source code and documentation from pub/kerberos on athena-dist.mit.edu (via anonymous ftp) (or from serveral vendors). To start with you might want to look at pub/kerberos/doc/usenix.PS for a brief technical overview. -- Jon
