Explanation

Kerberos is a network authentication protocol specifically built around a ticket-based system. A user authenticates once to the Key Distribution Center (KDC), which issues a Ticket Granting Ticket (TGT). That TGT is then used to request service tickets for individual resources (file servers, applications, etc.) without re-entering credentials. Biometrics is a physical authentication method using biological traits. PKI uses certificates and key pairs for authentication, not tickets. ACLs (Access Control Lists) are authorization mechanisms that define permissions, not an authentication system.
