Security on the Web (and Kerberos)

Kerberized HTTP

This is an interesting option, because Kerberos already includes encryption and authentication for data transmission. The one drawback to Kerberizing an HTTP stream completely is that any solution is browser-specific. In fact, in this case, it would require a customized version of the Netscape browser.

So, back to cookies.
