Hi,
I wonder if it is possible to achieve privacy/authentication in a network with public key cryptography without relying on any Certification Authorities, such as Kerberos?
Thanks.

You could just define your own keys and make it work, but how do you judge whether the public/shared keys are genuine? That's why you have a Certification Authority, to guarantee (countersign, if you like) the shared keys
