What is an advantage of Kerberos authentication with respect to password security?  Explain.

What will be an ideal response?


A major advantage of Kerberos is that passwords are not stored on the system, so they
cannot be intercepted. A ticket is specific to a user and typically expires after a set period
(usually eight hours). Kerberos does allow postdated tickets and renewable tickets, but
users cannot modify tickets directly; they must request these flags when requesting their
tickets.
