Hi Joe,

  I support method 2, with the following remarks

Under VISTA i have found three tunnels methods already supported, PEAP, EAP-FAST, TTLS.
 PEAP and TTLS are drafts with multiple versions. EAP-FAST is an RFC

  All these methods use two phases, phase 1 and phase 2

Phase 1 coding (e.g EAP format) looks similar, i did not have sufficient time to check if they are exactly
  equivalent (does somebody know that ?)

  Phase 2 coding is different in every cases.

Could it be possible to think about a method with a common phase 1 coding and multiple phase 2 coding ?

Cheers

Pascal

At the IETF in Chicago we had a hum as to the direction we should take
with the password based method.  I would like to clarify the choices and
determine working group consensus on the list.  The two directions are
given below please express you preference by 10/25.

Option 1 - Password based method - this option restricts the work item
to what is currently in the charter.  The resulting method would have a
new method ID and selecting this method would mean selecting a password
based exchange that meets the requirements we already set forth.  The
method may use an existing method as its base.

Option 2 - Tunneling method - this option requires clarifying the
charter to work on a tunneling method which would then be used to meet
the password method requirements.  This would include making sure we
have a valid set of requirements to work with. The working group may
select an existing method as its base and have backwards compatibility
as a goal, however whether the method uses the same method ID and any
modifications to the method will be determined by working group and IETF
consensus.

Thanks,

Joe
