That's "Kerberos" - it's a crypto-based scheme developed by MIT (under the 
ausipices of their Project Athena) for I&A in a distributed computing 
environment.  You'll find lots of information on it at the following URLs:

http://mitvma.mit.edu/mit/kerberos.html


There is a competing scheme which is actually more complete, developed by a 
consortium in Europe, and called "Sesame".  You can find information - and the 
source code for version 1 - at:
