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.

 Currency & Privacy

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.
