Kerberos Technical Wiki
Compact encyclopedia of Kerberos terms and concepts for technical users and researchers.
Core Protocols
Escrow
Transaction system locking funds in multi‑signatures until both parties confirm completion.
PGP
Public‑Key Cryptography used for authentication and message encryption within Kerberos communications.
Tor Network
Anonymous routing network that hosts Kerberos onion services to ensure traffic unlinkability.

Monero (XMR)
Default currency for Kerberos transactions due to ring signatures and confidential transactions.
Bitcoin (BTC)
Optionally supported with segregated wallet infrastructure for trace‑minimized operations.
Address Rotation
Automatic re‑issuance of deposit addresses per order to minimize fund linkage.
Infrastructure
Mirror Cluster
Group of Kerberos onion sites with shared auth back‑end for load‑balancing and resiliency.
Load Nodes
Intermediate servers routing traffic anonymously to reduce entry correlation and attack surface.
Gateway Keys
PGP and SSH keys assigned per mirror gateway for integrity verification and silo control.
User Security Concepts
OpSec
Operational Security methods: separate identities, dedicated devices, Tor‑only activity.
Fingerprint Verification
Matching PGP fingerprints to confirm authentic Kerberos communications and updates.
Data Minimization
Principle to store nothing personally identifiable; no tracking or cookies used site‑wide.
