This memo describes an Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP)
method, EAP-pwd, which uses a shared password for authentication.
The password may be a low-entropy one and may be drawn from some set
of possible passwords, like a dictionary, which is available to an
attacker. The underlying key exchange is resistant to active attack,
passive attack, and dictionary attack. This document is not an Internet
Standards Track specification; it is published for informational purposes.
