What's "ITAR"? How come you can't touch it?
Kerberos isn't tied to a specific form of encryption. It's been a
long time since I looked at the kerberos source, or tried to build it,
but I'm pretty sure you can plug in whatever encryption you want to
use without too much effort. And, basically that's for
authentication, anyway.
If all you're doing is distributing host and user information, hesiod
(the piece that does this) doesn't require authentication, anyway.
