TLS-KDH is an evolving standard protocol for high security authentication and transport encryption, which aims at security in a future world of quantum computing. It combines basically three established technologies to reach this aim: Kerberos, TLS, and Diffie-Hellman key agreement protocol, this Project will as proof of concept implement TLSKDH as authentication mechanism in the form of a microservice plugin to the open source software Satosa.
