    From http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/: Kerberos was created by MIT as a solution to these network security problems. The Kerberos protocol uses strong cryptography so that a client can prove its identity to a server (and vice versa) across an insecure network connection. After a client and server has used Kerberos to prove their identity, they can also encrypt all of their communications to assure privacy and data integrity as they go about their business.

    Meanwhile: SSL is used for establishing server<-->server authentication via public key encryption.
