Summary: Almost Ready

Major Concerns:

Section 1.2: A reference is needed for the "SPAKE algorithm" is
needed here, even if it is a forward pointer to Section 2.
Does this align with draft-irtf-cfrg-spake2?  Are you aware of
https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/4018/?


Minor Concerns:

Abstract: Please explain "FAST", perhaps just a pointer to RFC 6113.

Section 7 says:

   First, the hash function associated with the selected group is
   computed over the concatenation of the following values:

A hash value is being computed, not a group.


Nits:

General: Please prepare for publication as an RFC by changing "this
draft" to something that is appropriate for an archival series document.

Section 1: In the first paragraph, we see: "preauthentication".  Then,
in the first paragraph of Section 1.1, we see "pre-authentication".
Please pick one.


Note:  I did not try to compile the ASN.1 or run the python script.
