Kerberos is a system for authenticating users and services on a network. It is built upon the assumption that the network is unsafe. For example, data sent over the network can be eavesdropped and altered, and addresses can also be faked. Therefore they cannot be used for authentication purposes. HP-UX 11.11 users should also install the HP-UX Strong Random Number Generator software product (see the HPUX.Install file included in this package).
