+
+[Kerberos](https://web.mit.edu/kerberos/) is a network authentication protocol. It is designed to provide strong authentication for client/server applications by using secret-key cryptography. 
+
+In Pulsar, we use Kerberos with [SASL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Authentication_and_Security_Layer) as a choice for authentication. While in SASL, Pulsar uses the [Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Authentication_and_Authorization_Service) for SASL configuration. You must provide JAAS configurations for Kerberos authentication.
