Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI)
An Internet Protocol (IP)-based storage networking standard for linking data storage facilities. By
carrying SCSI commands over IP networks, iSCSI facilitates transferring data over intranets and
managing storage over long distances. The protocol allows clients (called initiators) to send SCSI
commands (CDBs) to SCSI storage devices (targets) on remote servers. iSCSI is a Storage Area
Network (SAN) protocol.

iqn.
date that the naming authority took ownership of the domain, in yyyy-mm format.
reversed domain name of the authority, such as com.nasuni.

Kerberos
Kerberos is a computer network authentication protocol that works on the basis of 'tickets' to allow
nodes communicating over a non-secure network to prove their identity to one another in a secure
manner. It provides mutual authentication: both the user and the server verify each other's identity.
Kerberos protocol messages are protected against eavesdropping and replay attacks. Kerberos builds
on symmetric key cryptography and requires a trusted third party, and optionally may use public-key
cryptography during certain phases of authentication. Kerberos uses UDP port 88 by default.
