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.

Title : An EAP Authentication Method Based on the EKE Protocol Author(s) : Y. Sheffer, et al. Filename : draft-sheffer-emu-eap-eke-00.txt Pages : 22 Date : 2009-01-29 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.
