Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kerberos is a network authentication protocol that authenticates users without sending their passwords across a computer network. It uses a trusted third-party authentication server to verify the identity of the user and issue session keys that can be used to encrypt and decrypt communication between the user and the network resources they are trying to access. WPA and WEP are wireless encryption protocols, and pretexting is a social engineering technique used to gain unauthorized access to information.
