This protocol is known for using a trusted third-party ticket-granting service to provide secure access to resources. It mitigates the risk of eavesdropping and replay attacks by avoiding the need to transmit passwords over the network. Instead, a client requests an access ticket from the ticket-granting service, which if granted, allows the client to access the desired service using that ticket. In contrast, Direct Access grants remote access to internal networks over IPv6 transitions, Simple Sign-On represents a one-time authentication process across multiple systems, which is not particularly related to ticket-granting, and Network Access Token is a made-up term not associated with a real-world authentication protocol.
