It is built upon the assumption that the network is ``unsafe''. For example, data sent over the network can be eavesdropped and altered, and addresses can also be faked. Therefore they cannot be used for authentication purposes.<p> 29<ul> 30<li><a class="el" href="krb5_introduction.html">Introduction to the Kerberos 5 API</a></li><li><a class="el" href="krb5_principal_intro.html">The principal handing functions.</a></li><li><a class="el" href="krb5_ccache_intro.html">The credential cache functions</a></li><li><a class="el" href="krb5_keytab_intro.html">The keytab handing functions</a></li></ul> 31<p> 32If you want to know more about the file formats that is used by Heimdal, please see: <a class="el" href="krb5_fileformats.html">File formats</a><p> 33The project web page: <a href="http://www.h5l.org/">http://www.h5l.org/</a> </div> 34<hr size="1"><address style="text-align: right;"><small> 35Generated on Wed Jan 11 14:07:47 2012 for HeimdalKerberos5library by <a href="http://www.doxygen.org/index.html"><img src="doxygen.png" alt="doxygen" align="middle" border="0"></a> 1.5.6</small></address> 36</body> 37</html> 38
