A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 5931 Title: Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) Authentication Using Only a Password Author: D. Harkins, G. Zorn Status: Informational Stream: IETF Date: August 2010 Mailbox: dharkins@arubanetworks.com, gwz@net-zen.net Pages: 40 Characters: 90275 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-harkins-emu-eap-pwd-14.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5931.txt This memo describes an Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) method, EAP-pwd, which uses a shared password for authentication. The password may be a low-entropy one and may be drawn from some set of possible passwords, like a dictionary, which is available to an attacker. The underlying key exchange is resistant to active attack, passive attack, and dictionary attack.
