    abstract =  {The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) {[}1{]} provides a standard method for transporting multi-protocol datagrams over point-to-point links. The PPP Compression Control Protocol {[}2{]} provides a method to negotiate and utilize compression protocols over PPP encapsulated links. Version 2 of the Microsoft Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol (MS-CHAP-2) {[}3{]} is a Microsoft-proprietary PPP authentication protocol, providing the functionality to which LAN-based users are accustomed while integrating the encryption and hashing algorithms used on Windows networks. Microsoft Point to Point Encryption (MPPE) {[}4{]} is a means of representing PPP packets in an encrypted form. MPPE uses the RSA RC4 {[}5{]} algorithm to provide data confidentiality. The length of the ses- sion key to be used for initializing encryption tables can be negoti- ated. MPPE currently supports 40-bit and 128-bit session keys. MPPE session keys are changed frequently; the exact frequency depends upon the options negotiated, but may be every packet. MPPE is negotiated within option 18 {[}6{]} in the Compression Control Protocol. This document describes the method used to derive the initial MPPE ses- sion keys from MS-CHAP-2 credentials. The algorithm used to change ses- sion keys during a session is described in {[}4{]}.},
