It's an authentification protocol.  Here an excerpt of the control
file:

 Kerberos is a system for authenticating users and services on a
 network.  Kerberos is a trusted third-party service.  That means that
 there is a third party (the kerberos server) that is trusted by all
 the entities on the network (users and services, usually called
 "principals").

Look at the non-us packages kerberos4kth* to begin with.  Don't know
about the differences between version 4 and 5.
