Please,
I am beginner with respect to the kerberos protocol and have some doubts of its use:
1) Is Kerberos security suitable for financial applications?
2) What are the advantages of kerberos with respect to SSL?
3) Does Java provide full support for kerberos?
Thank you.
Start off here: http://www.cmf.nrl.navy.mil/CCS/people/kenh/kerberos-faq.html It goes into a good bit of detail and has added links to more information.
Kerberos is an extremely secure way to manage security. Add in support for SecurID and you are set.
1) Yes
2) Read the FAQ, he covers that question.
3) For the most part.
I should also add: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/kerberos/ is a good read on Kerberos too. I think the FAQ author mentions this book.
