Abstract
This document specifies a method with-which Digest Authentication can be performed between two clients over the IRC protocol and specifies a way in which digest authentication may be used by an IRC server to validate the authorization of a client attempting to connect or gain operator privileges on the server without the revealing the 'password' being used in the process to a third party packet-sniffing the connection for the very purpose of discovering it.
