This looks strangely familiar ;-). From RFC 5931: The following is the initial layout for the password pre-processing method registry: o 0x00 : None o 0x01 : RFC2759 o 0x02 : SASLprep The Prep field is 8 bits long, and all other values are available through assignment by IANA. IANA is instructed to assign values based on "Specification Required" (see [RFC5226]). Is there some good reason not to use the IANA Registry already established (http://www.iana.org/assignments/eap-pwd-parameters/eap-pwd-parameters.xml#eap-pwd-parameters-4)?
