A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : SPAKE Pre-Authentication Author : Nathaniel McCallum Filename : draft-mccallum-kitten-krb-spake-preauth-00.txt Pages : 11 Date : 2015-04-24 Abstract: This document defines a new password authenticated key exchange based pre-authentication mechanism for performing Kerberos authentication. This mechanism has three goals. First, it makes Kerberos pre- authentication more resilient against time synchronization errors by removing the need to transfer an encrypted timestamp. Second, it increases the security of the Kerberos pre-authentication exchange by making offline brute-force attacks impossible. Third, it enables the use of secure second factor authentication without FAST by utilizing the existing trust relationship established by the shared first factor.
