Contemporary issues in HIM. Kerberos--security for sensitive data

J R Pinkert. J AHIMA. 1994 Jun.

Abstract

Kerberos is a software package designed to enhance distributed computing security through the use of computerized tickets. In this article, we have looked at Kerberos data elements and protocols, and illustrated their use in a small example system. This and other security measures will be necessary to ensure privacy of patient records in the future.
