Abstract:
This document specifies a common protocol design template for
authentication on the Hyper-text Transport Protocol (HTTP) involving
multi-hop message exchanges. To facilitate advanced authentication
technologies such as hash-based exchanges, zero-knowledge password
proof, or public-key authentications on HTTP, a kind of state
management and key management facilities are required on the general
HTTP authentication message framework. Also, to optimize performance
of such authentication schemes, a well-designed mechanism for key
caching and re-authentication are needed. The template defined in
this document provides a generic foundation for implementing such
advanced authentication technologies.
