There are several motivations for using compound authentication methods
using tunnels, but man-in-the-middle attacks are possible in certain
circumstances when they are used, without cryptographically binding the
methods together. At the time of writing this document, several
protocols being proposed within the IETF are vulnerable to these
attacks, including IKE with XAUTH, PIC, PANA over TLS, EAP TTLS and
PEAP. This document studies the problems and suggests potential
solutions to mitigate them

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
