The Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) describes a framework
that allows the use of multiple authentication mechanisms. This
document defines an authentication mechanism for EAP called EAP-EKE,
based on the Encrypted Key Exchange (EKE) protocol. This method
provides mutual authentication through the use of a short, easy to
remember password. Compared with other common authentication
methods, EAP-EKE is not susceptible to dictionary attacks. Neither
does it require the availability of public-key certificates.
