EKE is a well known password-based mutual authentication protocol. The patent 
on EKE is nearing expiry, so we figured this is a good time to specify an EAP 
method using this protocol.

We would appreciate all comments.

Thanks,
        Yaron

The Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) describes a framework
that allows the use of multiple authentication mechanisms.  This
document defines an authentication mechanism for EAP called EAP-EKE,
based on the Encrypted Key Exchange (EKE) protocol.  This method
provides mutual authentication through the use of a short, easy to
remember password.
