First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for establishing a secure message transmission operation between a client, a client server and a Kerberos Server comprising the steps of:
- (a) generating an original service request by an originating client to said client-server;
(b) routing said service request to a message control system program (MCS) in said client server;
(c) requesting Kerberos service by said message control system program;
(d) receiving of said service request by a Kerberos Security Library;
(e) calling said Kerberos Server by said Kerberos Security Library;
(f) delivering by said Kerberos Security Library, a service request response message to said message control system program (MCS);
(g) utilizing a communications management system program (COMS) to the particular message control system program (MCS) of the originating client to convey said response message to said originating client.

Abstract
A Kerberos domain network enables multiple client-terminals to communicate with one or more client-servers and a Kerberos Server. A request for Kerberos service by a requesting client-terminal is managed by a communication management system program (COMS) working in conjunction with a message control system program (MCS). These programs enable the original client-terminal request to be processed by a Kerberos Security Library and Kerberos server to develop an asynchronous response message for said original client-terminal request.

3. A secure message transmission system in a Kerberos environment which permits a client user to operate in a network for command transmittal and message response without suspending client service when a Kerberos Server has not yet responded to an earlier request for an authentication message code signal, said system comprising:
-
(a) client terminal means (10) to initiate an original request for validation message code signal from a Kerberos Server (20); (b) program means for transmitting commands for service to a Kerberos Server Library and returning a validation message code signal to said client terminal means (10), said program means including a first message communication system program (MCS) and a communication management system program (COMS); (c) means for enabling client-terminal operations for command execution after said original request had been initiated but not yet validated with a message code signal from said Kerberos Server.

4. A Kerberos domain network for secure message transmission comprising:
-
(a) a plurality of clients wherein one originating client initiates an original Kerberos service request, said clients connected to a plurality of client-servers and a Kerberos Server; (b) each said client-server including; (b1) a communications management system program (COMS) for routing said service request to a message control system program (MCS) and subsequently retrieving a service request response from a Kerberos Security Library; (c) said Kerberos Security Library for receiving said service request, including; (c1) means to communicate to a Kerberos Server; (c2) means to receive a message response from said Kerberos Server; (c3) means to convey said message response to said COMS program; and (d) said Kerberos Server including; (d1) a key distribution center means for authorizing said Kerberos Security Library to initiate a response message to said COMS program. - View Dependent Claims (5)

6. A system in a Kerberos domain network for originating an original Kerberos service request and continuing with subsequent service request operations while a message response to said original service request is still pending, comprising:
-
(a) an originating client-terminal for originating said original service request and subsequent service requests for Kerberos service; (b) a client-server connected to said client-terminal and to a Kerberos Server, said client-server including; (b1) communication management system program means (COMS) for routing said original service request to a message control system program means (MCS); (b2) said message control system program means (MCS) for requesting Kerberos service and for receiving a Kerberos response message for said original service request from a Kerberos Security Library means; (c) said Kerberos-Security Library means for developing said response message to said original service request including; (c1) means to deliver said response message to said MCS program means via said COMS program means; and d) means to transmit said response message for said original service request to said originating client terminal.
