Abstract

This document presents a shared-key authentication mechanism for the TLS protocol. It is intended to allow TLS clients to authenticate using a secret key (such as a password) shared with either the server or a third-party authentication service. The security of the secret authentication key is augmented by its integration into the normal SSL/TLS server authentication/key exchange mechanism.
