This is an excellent summary, one that should be reflected in the document itself.

Hi everyone,

Version -01 of our draft closes the vulnerability that was pointed out by S=
cott Fluhrer, by defining a new MODP group (the common Group 14, but with a=
 different generator). Your further comments are welcome.

Thanks,
        Yaron

        Title           : An EAP Authentication Method Based on the EKE Pro=
tocol

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.

This is just for your information, but the CFRG mail list has not been
