Abstract:
   This document describes SPAKE2 which is a protocol for two parties
   that share a password to derive a strong shared key without
   disclosing the password.  This method is compatible with any group,
   is computationally efficient, and SPAKE2 has a security proof.  This
   document predated the CFRG PAKE competition and it was not selected,
   however, given existing use of variants in Kerberos and other
   applications it was felt publication was beneficial.  Applications
   that need a symmetric PAKE and where hashing onto an elliptic curve
   at execution time is not possible can use SPAKE2.  This document is a
   product of the Crypto Forum Research Group (CFRG) in the IRTF.
