John,
The words 'shared secret' are definitely applicable to Kerberos, but I
am not sure what is meant by 'dynamic' or 'plaintext' in this context.
All ciphers involve some form of plaintext and ciphertext, so what is
dynamic about the plaintext used during Kerberos authentication ?
Cheers,
Tim.

I had modelled the Kerberos protocol as a challenge-response using a
shared secret (<SharedSecretChallengeResponse>), but I think this is
actually incorrect, and it should be modelled as
<SharedSecretDynamicPlaintext>.
Thoughts?
