A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : The EAP PSK Protocol
Author(s) : F. Bersani
Filename : draft-bersani-eap-psk-00.txt
Pages : 26
Date : 2004-1-29
This document specifies an Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP)
method for authentication and session key distribution using a pre-
shared key (PSK). The PSK is used by a unique underlying
cryptographic primitive, a block cipher, which is instantiated with
AES-128.
EAP-PSK performs mutual authentication and session key derivation. It
provides identity protection and shall provide fast reconnect in
future versions. It provides a secure communication channel within
EAP in case the authentication is successful. This secure channel can
be used to allow for instance protected result indications.
EAP-PSK is intended to be easy to deploy and well-suited for
authentication over insecure networks.

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.
