Specifically:

 - Kerberos Subject Confirmation Method: to allow a relying party to
confirm an attesting party using Kerberos.
 - Kerberos Attribute Profile: primarily, to enable a SAML requestor to
obtain a Kerberos AP-REQ for named user and service principals.
 - Kerberos Web Browser SSO Profile: primarily, to profile the use of
the Kerberos Subject Confirmation Method within the Web SSO Profile.

The primary use-cases are:
 - to improve the usability and level of assurance in the security
context of a Web SSO session.
 - to provide Kerberos-based evidence for AuthZ decisions, for the
single and n-tier cases (including web services).
 - to establish Kerberos-based trust between SAML entities, rather than
the more typical use of PKI.
