People -- Ken Raeburn, Senior Programmer

Ken Raeburn has been working on Kerberos off and on for almost 20 years.

Ken started working at MIT's Project Athena as a student, and joined the staff as a developer and release engineer. He escaped for a while to Cygnus Solutions (which has since been absorbed by Red Hat) to work on the GNU C/C++ compiler and related tools, including acting as the primary maintainer for the GNU Binary Utilities for the Free Software Foundation, and on the Kerberos products that Cygnus shipped, but after the Massachusetts office closed in 2000, he gravitated back to MIT for more Kerberos work, and has not managed to reach escape velocity since.

Ken is active in the IETF's Kerberos and Common Authentication Technologies Next Generation working groups, where he has contributed to or authored a few RFCs, including the current cryptography framework used in Kerberos. His current development projects involve work on the KDC and database, and improving the error-reporting capabilities of the MIT code.

He has been known to dabble in other projects that catch his fancy. He plays amateur cryptographer on occasion, or amateur language lawyer when it comes to programming language or API specifications. Software design, programming and debugging, and protocol design, analysis and implementation, are all part of a day's work. Or a night's work, sometimes. He is also interested in computer architectures (not all the world's a PC), multithreaded program design (which MIT won't let him write at the moment), and compiler technologies.

Ken graduated from MIT -- with a degree from the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department, even -- in 1988, but apparently hasn't actually learned how to go away.

Ken was active in MIT's Student Information Processing Board and Lecture Series Committee as an undergrad and in his early years out in the real world, has been active in the MIT Gilbert and Sullivan Players most of the time it's been in existence, ever since his ex said, "Hey, could you help me with this?", and is a fan of science fiction, Tom Lehrer, and chocolate.
