Definition of Authentication Server

An Authentication Server is a system which provides Authentication services to other systems on a network. The classical example of this is a Kerberos server. Users and network servers alike authenticate to such a server, and receive cryptographic Ticket's. They exchange these tickets with one-another to verify each-other's identity.
