A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Point-to-Point Protocol Extensions Working Group of the IETF. Title : Deriving MPPE Keys From MS-CHAP V1 Credentials Author(s) : G. Zorn Filename : draft-ietf-pppext-mschapv1-keys-00.txt Pages : 7 Date : 22-Sep-98 The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) [1] provides a standard method for transporting multi-protocol datagrams over point-to-point links. The PPP Compression Control Protocol [2] provides a method to negotiate and utilize compression protocols over PPP encapsulated links. The Microsoft Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol (MS-CHAP) [3] is a Microsoft-proprietary PPP authentication protocol, providing the functionality to which LAN-based users are accustomed while integrating the encryption and hashing algorithms used on Windows networks. Microsoft Point to Point Encryption (MPPE) [4] is a means of represent- ing PPP packets in an encrypted form. MPPE uses the RSA RC4 [5] algorithm to provide data confidentiality. The length of the session key to be used for initializing encryption tables can be negotiated. MPPE currently supports 40-bit and 128-bit session keys. MPPE session keys are changed frequently; the exact frequency depends upon the options negotiated, but may be every packet. MPPE is negotiated within option 18 [6] in the Compression Control Protocol. This document describes the method used to derive the initial MPPE ses- sion keys from MS-CHAP credentials. The algorithm used to change ses- sion keys during a session is described in [4]. Internet-Drafts are available by anonymous FTP.

Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-pppext-mschapv1-keys-00.txt". NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE" command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on how to manipulate these messages. Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft.
