Kerberos is a secure authentication protocol named after the three-headed dog from Greek mythology that guards the gates of the underworld. In the digital realm, Kerberos protects the gates to your network, ensuring that user identities (such as users, devices, and services) are verified before granting access. It utilizes tickets for authentication, providing a safe passage for authorized users while keeping intruders out.
