    Title           : The EAP-PSK Protocol: a Pre-Shared Key (PSK) EAP 
Method

This document specifies an Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP)
   method for mutual authentication and session key derivation using a
   pre-shared key (PSK).
   This PSK is used by a unique underlying cryptographic primitive, a
   block cipher, which is instantiated with AES-128.
   EAP-PSK provides a secure communication channel within EAP in case
   the authentication is successful. This channel is used to implement
   protected result indications and may be used by future extensions.
   EAP-PSK is designed to be easy to deploy and well-suited for
   authentication over insecure networks such as IEEE 802.11.
   It is proposed as a replacement for MD5-Challenge.
