Abstract


   This document specifies a mutual authentication scheme for the
   Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).  This scheme provides true mutual
   authentication between an HTTP client and an HTTP server using
   password-based authentication.  Unlike the Basic and Digest
   authentication schemes, the Mutual authentication scheme specified in
   this document assures the user that the server truly knows the user's
   encrypted password.
