A client typically authenticates itself to a service in Kerberos A client typically authenticates itself to a service in Kerberos
using three distinct though related exchanges. First, the client using three distinct though related exchanges. First, the client
requests a ticket-granting ticket (TGT) from the Kerberos requests a ticket-granting ticket (TGT) from the Kerberos
authentication server (AS). Then, it uses the TGT to request a authentication server (AS). Then, it uses the TGT to request a
service ticket from the Kerberos ticket-granting server (TGS). service ticket from the Kerberos ticket-granting server (TGS).
Usually, the AS and TGS are integrated in a single device known as Usually, the AS and TGS are integrated in a single device known as
a Kerberos Key Distribution Center, or KDC. (In this draft, we will a Kerberos Key Distribution Center, or KDC. (In this document, we will

As defined, Kerberos authentication exchanges use symmetric-key As defined, Kerberos authentication exchanges use symmetric-key
cryptography, in part for performance. (Symmetric-key cryptography cryptography, in part for performance. One cost of using

depending on the public-key operations. [cite]) One cost of using
symmetric-key cryptography is that the keys must be shared, so that symmetric-key cryptography is that the keys must be shared, so that

Conversely, public-key cryptography--in conjunction with an Conversely, public-key cryptography (in conjunction with an

cached exchanges. It is desirable to limit the use of cached
parameters to just the KDC, in order to eliminate this exposure. However, when a PKINIT pre-authenticator in the AS-REP has a
zero-nonce, and an attacker has somehow recorded this
pre-authenticator and discovered the corresponding Diffie-Hellman
private key (e.g., with a brute-force attack), the attacker will be
able to fabricate his own AS-REP messages that impersonate the KDC
with this same pre-authenticator. This compromised pre-authenticator
will remain valid as long as its expiration time has not been reached
and it is therefore important for clients to check this expiration
time and for the expiration time to be reasonably short, which
depends on the size of the Diffie-Hellman group.
If a client also caches its Diffie-Hellman keys, then the session key
could remain the same during multiple AS-REQ/AS-REP exchanges and an
attacker which compromised the session key could fabricate his own
AS-REP messages with a pre-recorded pre-authenticator until the
client starts using a new Diffie-Hellman key pair and while the KDC
pre-authenticator has not yet expired. It is therefore not
recommended for KDC clients to also cache their Diffie-Hellman keys.
