What the heck is Kerberos?

I was just checking my Notifications settings when I noticed this:



No explanation...


I've never seen it before, what is it?


All Spotlight shows of any relevance is this:



  • It's not on my iOS devices
  • It's not an App I can find on my MacBook Air


Weird... and worrying!

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.0

Yes, I've seen numerous - but technical - explanations of what 'a' Kerberos is.


But it seems REALLY dumb to include it in Notifications, without any explanation at all.


And I didn't know what explanation to believe, as Apple uses the logo in my question, above, but MIT uses this completely different one...



So a supplementary... do I need Notifications for Kerberos, and what will I miss if I turn them off?


🙄 What a mess!!!
