Title : DH-CHAP: Diffie-Hellman Enhanced CHAP for iSCSI Author(s) : D. Black Filename : draft-black-ips-iscsi-dhchap-00.txt Pages : 14 Date : 11-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.

Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-black-ips-iscsi-dhchap-00.txt". 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.
