A client server infrastructure that provides user-to-server authentication describes which one of the following?
Correct Answer: B
Kerberos is a client server infrastructure that provides user-to-server authentication, as well as mutual authentication, ticket-based authentication, and symmetric key encryption. Kerberos is based on the concept of a trusted third party, called the Key Distribution Center (KDC), that issues tickets to clients and servers to authenticate each other and establish a secure session. Kerberos uses a protocol that involves several steps, such as authentication service exchange, ticket-granting service exchange, and client/server authentication exchange, to achieve its security goals3 .
