Hi folks,
could some one confirm the following two assertives:
1) KerberosV uses a modular approach, allowing any encryption
algorithm to be used stead of DES, i.e., ones could implement
RC2/RC4/RC5/cast128/cast256 and any other to be used within kerberosV
clients/server.
2) This same modular approach allows for any MAC algorithm to be used,
like md4/md2/md5/sha1/rmd160, provide both parties agree on that.
Sorry, i have not read the documentation for these very simple
question.
Thanks a lot for your time and cooperation.
best regards.
PS: If possible, reply to me too.
