MIT Launching Kerberos Consortium

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Monday September 17, 2007 @10:34AM from the passing-the-torch dept.

alphadogg writes to tell us that next week MIT will be throwing a 20th birthday party for their Kerberos authentication system. In celebration of this milestone they will also be launching a new consortium dedicated to preserving and evolving this standard for years to come. "Kerberos, originally created for MIT's Project Athena, is used mainly by enterprises and MIT's goal is to see the IETF security standard develop into a universal system for single sign-on. [...] 'Kerberos has.... become successful beyond MIT's internal capacity to respond to the world's demands for development, testing and support. So we need a new organizational structure that can accommodate the demand.'"

It might now have a home, but it won't be able to enter it without someone to vouch for its identity.

As I have demonstrated from some of my previous posts
Do math teachers learn that phrase in math teacher school, is it that people who say things like that grow up to be math teachers?
