 Xbox Live is an online multiplayer gaming and digital media delivery service created and operated by Microsoft. It was first made available to the Xbox system in November 2002. ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_Live Wikipedia]) Xbox Live support for the original Xbox ended in April 15, 2010.
 The Xbox Live architecture consists of Kerberos-based authentication tickets, with a Secure Gateway used to then access services (such as Matchmaking, Statistics/Leaderboards, and custom game servers)
 Authentication and access to Xbox Live services is controlled using the Kerberos protocol with a few proprietary customisations for the Xbox. When an Xbox first connects, the server gives it a [[Xbox Live/Machine Account|Machine Account]] which it uses to access the service; this machine account is always sent, but it can only be used alone to access UACS (User Account Creation Service) to create a user account - with both a machine account and user account, all other services are accessible.
