....The hierarchical structure allows the trusted servers to share keys with other servers controlling other realms. This means that machines in different realms can be authenticated across realms provided there is a path between the realms constructed from links between authentication servers[36]. Hence the Kerberos system could span many domains provided there are trusted and authenticated connections between them. There are some limitations in the design of Kerberos. Kerberos was specifically designed to operate on single user workstations where the problems associated with providing ....

....whole network is vulnerable. Kerberos does have the advantage of providing a transparent service to the user and it does provide extra security that is often lacking in Unix networks. Kerberos is currently the only readily available (and free) authentication option available for Unix based systems[36]. This is likely to change as research in the area of Unix network security continues to progress. 4.3 Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Security for Version 2 of SNMP (SNMPv2) One management protocol that is suitable for the management of IP networks is the Simple Network Management ....
