Which system uses a central distribution service to grant time-limited tokens for validating identity between a client and a service?
Kerberos
OpenID
OAuth
SAML
Kerberos is a ticket-based authentication protocol that leverages a Key Distribution Center (KDC) to issue time-bound tokens (or tickets) for authenticating clients and services. This setup minimizes repeated credential use and enhances session security. By contrast, OAuth, SAML, and OpenID serve different roles—focusing on delegated authorization, federated identity, or web-based authentication layers without centralized time-limited token issuance.
