Kerberos is a trusted, credential-based, third-party authentication protocol that uses symmetric (secret) key cryptography to provide robust authentication to clients accessing services on a network. One weakness of Kerberos is its Key Distribution Center (KDC), which represents a single point of failure. The KDC contains a database that holds a copy of all of the symmetric/secret keys for the principals. Reference(s) used for this question: KRUTZ, Ronald L. & VINES, Russel
