Documenting the existing shared key EAP methods... towards a new EAP-MD5?

Hi all,

As a follow-up to the chairs' presentation on EAP methods at IETF 59 (available at http://www.arkko.com/publications/eap/ietf-59/ietf59_eap_methstatus.ppt) and to my own presentation on EAP-PSK, a shared key method designed as the successor of EAP-Archie (available at http://www.arkko.com/publications/eap/ietf-59/ietf59_eap_psk.pdf), I am trying to document the existing related work (in a more thorough way than section 1.6 of EAP-PSK draft).

Thus, I have written a documentation template (available at http://eappsk.chez.tiscali.fr/draft-bersani-eap-sharedkeymethods-documentationtemplate-00.txt, before it reaches the archive). *If those of you who have written or are writing/designing a shared key EAP method could take 5 minutes to fill it in and mail it to me*, I would be most grateful.

The intention is to compile the available documentation on existing shared key EAP methods, before requesting that a new work item be opened to standardize one at IETF.

Indeed, it would be quite nice to have a simple and standard successor for EAP-MD5. As of now, apart the 4 methods mentioned by the chairs (EAP-MD5, EAP-OTP, EAP-GTC and EAP-TLS), there are no other standard EAP methods :-(

I will of course try to do my best fill the template for the different shared key EAP methods I am aware of but it would much easier and safer if their designers could give a hand. I also welcome pointers or information on EAP shared key methods (apart from the ones already mentioned on Bernard's page ;-)).

I will also obviously share with you the compilation of the documentation I will have gathered on that subject (by 04/02/2004 I expect).

Any feedback welcome and many thanks in advance for your cooperation,
Cheers,

Florent


P.S:
1) the revision of EAP-PSK is available at http://eappsk.chez.tiscali.fr/draft-bersani-eap-psk-01.txt before it reaches the archive
2) anyone willing to join in for the design of EAP-PSK is welcome!
