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> 31<ul> 32<li><a class="el" href="krb5_introduction.html">Introduction to the Kerberos 5 API</a></li> 33<li><a class="el" href="krb5_principal_intro.html">The principal handing functions.</a></li> 34<li><a class="el" href="krb5_ccache_intro.html">The credential cache functions</a></li> 35<li><a class="el" href="krb5_keytab_intro.html">The keytab handing functions</a></li> 36</ul> 37<p>If 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> 38<p>The project web page: <a href="http://www.h5l.org/">http://www.h5l.org/</a> </p> 39</div></div><!-- PageDoc --> 40</div><!-- contents --> 41<hr size="1"><address style="text-align: right;"><small> 42Generated on Tue Nov 15 2022 14:04:26 for Heimdal Kerberos 5 library by <a href="http://www.doxygen.org/index.html"><img src="doxygen.png" alt="doxygen" align="middle" border="0"></a> 1.9.1</small></address> 43</body> 44</html> 45
