Advanced Encryption Standard Encryption for Kerberos 5
RFC 3962, “Advanced Encryption Standard Encryption for Kerberos 5”, is a Proposed Standard document published in February 2005 by K. Raeburn. It has since been updated by RFC 9141. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The United States National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has chosen a new Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), which is significantly faster and (it is believed) more secure than the old Data Encryption Standard (DES) algorithm. This document is a specification for the addition of this algorithm to the Kerberos cryptosystem suite. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
