Kerberos Authorization Data Container Authenticated by Multiple Message Authentication Codes

Overview

RFC 7751, “Kerberos Authorization Data Container Authenticated by Multiple Message Authentication Codes”, is a Proposed Standard document published in March 2016 by S. Sorce, T. Yu. It updates RFC 4120. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document specifies a Kerberos authorization data container that supersedes AD-KDC-ISSUED. It allows for multiple Message Authentication Codes (MACs) or signatures to authenticate the contained authorization data elements. The multiple MACs are needed to mitigate shortcomings in the existing AD-KDC-ISSUED container. This document updates RFC 4120.
