Abstract

EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) provides authentication for each entity based on IEEE Std 802.1x wireless Local Area Networks and RADIUS/DIAMETER protocol and uses authentication certificates, passwords, and dual schemes (e.g., password and token). A password-based authentication scheme for authorized key exchange is a widely used user authentication scheme because it is easy to memorize, convenient, and portable. A specific hardware device is also unnecessary. This paper discusses user authentication via public networks and proposes the Split Password-based Authenticated Key Exchange (SPAKE), which is ideal for session key exchange when using secure encoded telecommunications. A secure EAP authentication framework, EAP-SPAKE, is also suggested.
