  1. Kerberos Working Group Interim MeetingKerberos Interoperability Event Klaus Schutz Director of Development Windows Security Access Control

  2. Introduction - Agenda • Our partners • Importance of Kerberos • Interoperability • Future Directions

  3. Our partners • Argonne National Labs • Carnegie Mellon University • Cisco Systems • EMC • Heimdal • Massachusetts Institute of Technology • Novell Inc. • Secure EndPoints Inc. • Sun Microsystems • University of Pennsylvania

  4. Importance of Kerberosfor Microsoft • Kerberos is used as THE authentication protocol for Windows in enterprises • Kerberos integration with AD • Dedicated and highly skilled team of engineers in Windows and • IETF contribution through Paul Leach, Larry Zhu and JK Jaganathan

  5. Kerberos Interoperability • Microsoft is committed to interoperability • We extensively test Kerberos with other implementations: MIT, Heimdal • We develop tools – such as GSSMonger – to improve interoperability • Tests with other implementations are standard for our sign off criteria

  6. Future Directions • Support of new algorithms for Kerberos • Agnostic crypto is highly important to many customers • Microsoft makes a big investment in crypto agnosticism (Kerberos, SSL, IPSec, S/Mime, etc) • Further strengthening Kerberos as the most widely used authentication protocol.
