The IESG has received a request from the Common Authentication Technology Next Generation WG (kitten) to consider the following document: - 'SPAKE Pre-Authentication' <draft-ietf-kitten-krb-spake-preauth-07.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the last-call@ietf.org mailing lists by 2020-05-26. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document defines a new pre-authentication mechanism for the Kerberos protocol that uses a password authenticated key exchange. This document has three goals. First, increase the security of Kerberos pre-authentication exchanges by making offline brute-force attacks infeasible. Second, enable the use of second factor authentication without relying on FAST. This is achieved using the existing trust relationship established by the shared first factor. Third, make Kerberos pre-authentication more resilient against time synchronization errors by removing the need to transfer an encrypted timestamp from the client. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-kitten-krb-spake-preauth/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
