A new draft white paper entitled "The Role of Kerberos in Modern Information Systems" is now available at:
http://www.kerberos.org/software/rolekerberos.pdf This document takes an architectural look at security, but it is not a reference manual for security architects. Instead, it focuses on the role of the Kerberos authentication system as part of the overall ecosystem of security technologies, services, and software components likely to be encountered in a typical modern distributed-systems environment. It is intended for those who design, build, and manage enterprise computing infrastructure, as well as for those who develop software intended to operate in such environments. This document should, ideally, answer many of the questions about how Kerberos fits into modern information systems, and how it relates to other vital system services.
