Kerberos and Related Technologies<br />
Date: TBA<br />
Presenters: hartmans and TBA<br />
Abstract: <br />
Developers from MIT's Kerberos group will give an overview of Kerberos, SASL,<br />
GSS-API and related technologies. The talk will focus on what these<br />
technologies can do for users and application developers. The talk also<br />
describes how Kerberos works over the network enough to explain what its<br />
advantages and drawbacks are.<br />
<br />
DNS and LDAP<br />
Date: TBA<br />
Presenter: TBA<br />
Abstract:<br />
How can a large, distributed system make available naming and directory information?<br />
On the Internet, the Domain Name System (DNS) is used to map names to IP addresses,<br />
to servers for mail and sometimes for AFS or Kerberos, and occasionally to other metadata.<br />
At MIT, DNS has traditionally been used in the guise of Hesiod to identify users' home<br />
directories and poboxes, printers' locations, and many other data. But DNS is unencrypted<br />
and vulnerable to spoofing. MIT and other sites are increasingly replacing many uses<br />
of DNS with the so-called Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), which can be<br />
secured with SSL/TLS, but LDAP is a complex beastie from an unfamiliar technical culture.<br />
This talk will discuss the design and architecture of both protocols, and show briefly<br />
some tools to help you poke around your favorite LDAP directory or DNS zone.</div>Price
