TGT
Ticket granting ticket
_________ is a system that provides single sign on (SSO)
Kerberos

Replay attacks
PAP
Password authentication protocol
CHAP
Challenge handshake, authentication protocol
Uses challenge – response to authenticate without sending the password over the network
Keeps count of who and where you are and the time
Challenge handshake, authentication protocol (CHAP)
A security standard that ensures the cryptographic modules effectiveness
High security standards
For example, used in banks
FIPS 1 40–2 compliance
This protocol since Passwords and plain text, making it insecure
Password often authentication protocol (PAP)
