Re: [IPsec] Proposed work item: IKEv2 password authentication (SPSK) - NO

2009-12-02 Thread Yaron Sheffer
Hi Dan, Responding to your last point: The alternatives for EAP-PWD (a.k.a. SPSK), namely EKE, SRP and PAK, have all been published outside the IETF and peer-reviewed by the relevant community: cryptographers, mainly of the academic kind. I highly appreciate the expertise we have at the IPsecM

Hello Yoav, This seems to be very interesting, I like it due to the first motivation you mentioned. I would be ready to review if this is accepted as a WG item. If some of the motivations are already tackled, it would be wise to check if making additions to IKEv2 tackling those motivations would

Hi Yaron, The technology underlying SPSK is not patented, EKE, SRP and PAK are all patented. Patents are a drag. In addition, EKE has the additional problem that it requires specialized MODP groups-- it can't use the ones in the IKE registry-- and I don't believe it can be used with ellipt

Hi Dan, I actually think the patent situation plays against SPSK, rather than in its favor. But I will say no more. Patent *discussions* are a drag. My personal opinion is that patents should have the lowest priority in this decision. As you know, it is trivial to generate MODP groups that will

[IPsec] password auth methods debate

2009-12-02 Thread Stephen Kent
Folks, I think there is merit to pursing both the EAP-based and the SPSK-based password authentication proposals as WG items. My rationale is: - EAP-based methods are well-suited to client-server interactions and to enterprise environments that already use RADIUS/DIAMATER. Unfortunately,
