The EAP-PSK Protocol: A Pre-Shared Key Extensible Authentication Protocol Method
RFC 4764, “The EAP-PSK Protocol: A Pre-Shared Key Extensible Authentication Protocol Method”, is an Experimental document published in January 2007 by F. Bersani, H. Tschofenig. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies EAP-PSK, an Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) method for mutual authentication and session key derivation using a Pre-Shared Key (PSK). EAP-PSK provides a protected communication channel when mutual authentication is successful for both parties to communicate over. This document describes the use of this channel only for protected exchange of result indications, but future EAP-PSK extensions may use the channel for other purposes. EAP-PSK is designed for authentication over insecure networks such as IEEE 802.11. This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.
What “Experimental” means
Describes a specification that is part of a research or development effort, published so the community can gain experience with it.
