Deriving Keys for use with Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption
RFC 3079, “Deriving Keys for use with Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption”, is an Informational document published in March 2001 by G. Zorn. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes the method used to derive initial MPPE session keys from a variety of credential types. It is expected that this memo will be updated whenever Microsoft defines a new key derivation method for MPPE, since its primary purpose is to provide an open, easily accessible reference for third-parties wishing to interoperate with Microsoft products. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
