What is Kerberos? Which version is currently used by
Windows? How does Kerberos work?

Answer Posted / gaurav dharasania

When you log in, your client contacts the Kerberos server
and uses your password to prove your identity. In return it
receives a special "ticket granting ticket" (TGT), valid
for several hours.

When your client wants to contact a network service on your
behalf (e.g. to mount a network file share), it first
contacts the Kerberos server with the TGT and the name of
the service. The Kerberos server issues a service ticket,
which your client presents to the actual network service.
The network service validates the ticket (without
contacting the Kerberos server) and allows the connection.
