What is Kerberos?
Kerberos is a network authentication protocol that uses secret-key cryptography to provide strong authentication for client/server applications. It allows clients and servers to prove their identity to each other over an insecure network connection. It is commonly used in enterprise environments to manage user authentication and authorization to network resources.
What other technologies are related to Kerberos?
Kerberos Competitor Technologies
NTLM
NTLM is an older authentication protocol that serves a similar purpose to Kerberos, providing authentication within Windows environments, but is generally considered less secure and feature-rich.
SAML
SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) is an XML-based framework for exchanging authentication and authorization data between security domains, often used for web-based SSO, providing an alternative to Kerberos for cross-domain authentication.
OAuth
OAuth is an authorization framework that enables applications to obtain limited access to user accounts on an HTTP service, often used in web and mobile applications as an alternative to Kerberos for authorization.
OpenID Connect
OpenID Connect is an identity layer on top of OAuth 2.0 and provides a method for single sign-on that is commonly used for web applications. Serves as a competitor for authentication, particularly for web-based applications.
ADFS
ADFS (Active Directory Federation Services) provides single sign-on (SSO) access to applications across organizational boundaries by using claims-based authentication. It competes with Kerberos in scenarios requiring cross-domain authentication.
OIDC
OIDC (OpenID Connect) is an identity layer on top of OAuth 2.0 and provides a method for single sign-on that is commonly used for web applications. Serves as a competitor for authentication, particularly for web-based applications.
WS-Fed
WS-Federation (Web Services Federation) is a specification that defines how to federate identities using web services. It competes with Kerberos in scenarios requiring cross-domain authentication and interoperability.
RADIUS
RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) is a networking protocol that provides centralized Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) management for users who connect and use a network service. It serves the same purpose, but through a different protocol, making it a competitor to Kerberos.

Kerberos Complementary Technologies
LDAP
LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is often used to store user and group information that Kerberos can then use for authentication. Kerberos can authenticate users stored in an LDAP directory.
Microsoft Active Directory
Active Directory is a directory service that heavily relies on Kerberos for authentication and authorization within Windows domains. It's a primary implementation of Kerberos.
Windows Authentication
Windows Authentication encompasses various methods, including Kerberos, used to authenticate users in a Windows environment. Kerberos is a core component of Windows Authentication.
