Kerberos Wiki — Technical Encyclopedia
Explore Kerberos darknet terminology and privacy technologies. This wiki defines tools, cryptographic standards, and operational security methods used in the Kerberos ecosystem.
OpSec
Operational Security — a personal discipline ensuring that no connection exists between real-world identity and darknet activity.
Tor Circuit
A chain of relays selected by the Tor network to encrypt and route traffic anonymously through multiple nodes.
Tails OS
A live operating system booted from USB that forces all internet traffic through Tor and leaves no trace after shutdown.
PGP (Pretty Good Privacy)
A standard for encrypted communication and authentication using asymmetric key pairs — essential to Kerberos identity verification.
Fingerprint
A unique hash-based identifier of a PGP public key used to confirm authenticity of Kerberos signatures.
Public Key
The portion of a PGP key pair distributed for encryption and verifying messages signed by the corresponding private key.
XMR (Monero)
The primary cryptocurrency preferred within Kerberos for its confidential transactions and ring signature privacy model.
Mixnet
A network layer that mixes and delays packets to obscure the relationship between sender and receiver.
Cold Wallet
An offline hardware or paper-based wallet used to store private keys securely away from network threats.
Whonix
A privacy-centric virtual machine architecture dividing gateways and workstations to route all traffic through Tor.
Qubes OS
A compartmentalized operating system where each virtual environment (qube) isolates tasks to reduce attack surface.
Sandbox
An environment used to execute untrusted code safely, often for inspecting market files or verifying scripts offline.
