RFC 6112: Anonymity Support for Kerberos

This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 8062.

Current version: RFC 8062 — Anonymity Support for Kerberos

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

This document defines extensions to the Kerberos protocol to allow a Kerberos client to securely communicate with a Kerberos application service without revealing its identity, or without revealing more than its Kerberos realm. It also defines extensions that allow a Kerberos client to obtain anonymous credentials without revealing its identity to the Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC). This document updates RFCs 4120, 4121, and 4556. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
