Description:
------------
  This project should make the development of my Internet-Draft public
available. The draft is 

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-otto-eap-skl-00.txt



Wireless LAN according to IEEE 802.11i makes use of IEEE 802.1x, which in
turn uses EAP as carrier for arbitrary authentication messages. These
protocols are referred to as 'EAP methods'. My draft describes a new EAP
method, namely EAP-SKL. This EAP method is very lightweight and could serve
as a replacement for the deprecated EAP-MD5. 




Other Software Required:
------------------------
  If the specification is mature enough, I would like to implement EAP-SKL

in wpa_supplicant (for the client device) and in freeradius (as AAA server).
Currently, my goal is to finish the specification.


Other Comments:
---------------
  Sourceforge has rejected this project, without giving a precise reason.
They do not have to host every project, that I am aware of. I can not follow
the decision process which led to this. What this project deals with, is the
development of a new protocol.
