Kerberos is a protocol for verifying the identity of principals
(e.g., a workstation user or a network server) on an open network.
The Kerberos protocol provides a facility called pre-authentication.
Pre-authentication mechanisms can use this facility to extend the
Kerberos protocol and prove the identity of a principal.

This document describes a more formal model for this facility.  The
model describes what state in the Kerberos request a pre-
authentication mechanism is likely to change.  It also describes how
multiple pre-authentication mechanisms used in the same request will
interact.

This document also provides common tools needed by multiple pre-
authentication mechanisms.  One of these tools is a secure channel
between the client and the key distribution center with a reply key
strengthening mechanism; this secure channel can be used to protect
the authentication exchange thus eliminate offline dictionary
attacks.  With these tools, it is relatively straightforward to chain
multiple authentication mechanisms, utilize a different key
management system, or support a new key agreement algorithm.
