NTLM NTLM (NT Lan Manager) is an authentication protocol used in various implementations of Microsoft network protocols and supported by the NTLMSSP (NT LM Security Support Provider). Originally used for secure authentication and negotiation, NTLM is also used throughout Microsoft systems as a singlesign-on mechanism.

Kerberos Kerberos: Kerberos is a network authentication protocol based on a secret key mechanism (symmetrical encryption) and the use of tickets, not plaintext passwords, thus avoiding the risk of fraudulent interception of user passwords. Created at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, it bears the Greek name of Cerberus, guardian of the Underworld (Κέρβερος). Kerberos was first implemented on Unix systems.
