three key management and security servers, the Ticket Granting
Server, the Record Keeping Server and the SYSLOG Server, in the
Packet Cable Network. A detail picture of the Packet Cable project
also includes a general overview of how it is able to achieve transfer
of voice over the HFC network and communicate with the PSTN
network. This document also encompasses the pros and cons of how
the authors implemented the Kerberos protocol with PKINIT extension,
the Internet Key Exchange protocol implementation, the RADIUS
protocol, the SYSLOG server.
The research and subsequent development of the key management
and security servers was carried out by Mubashir Hayat, Hammad
Amjad, Arslan Javed and Farid Anwar, under the supervision of Dr.
