    I-D ACTION:draft-black-ips-iscsi-dhchap-01.txt



    A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
    
    
    	Title		: DH-CHAP: Diffie-Hellman Enhanced CHAP for iSCSI
    	Author(s)	: D. Black
    	Filename	: draft-black-ips-iscsi-dhchap-01.txt
    	Pages		: 15
    	Date		: 18-Apr-02
    	
    This draft describes an authentication mechanism based on enhancing 
    CHAP [RFC 1994] with a Diffie-Hellman Exchange (see Section 22.1 of 
    [Schneier] in order to prevent a passive eavesdropper from 
    acquiring sufficient information to perform an off-line dictionary 
    attack on the CHAP secret.  The use of this authentication 
    mechanism with iSCSI [iSCSI] is discussed, along with a brief 
    comparison to the existing CHAP and SRP authentication mechanisms 
    in iSCSI. 
    Caution should be exercised in drawing inferences from the fact 
    that the author of this draft is one of the chairs of the IP 
    Storage Working Group.  This draft is an individual submission that 
    the IP Storage Working Group is free to adopt, modify, reject, 
    fold, spindle, and/or mutilate as it sees fit.

    NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
    	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
    	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
    	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
    	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
    	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
    	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
    	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
    	how to manipulate these messages.
    		
    		
    Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
    implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
    Internet-Draft.
