To facilitate advanced authentication technologies such as hash-based exchanges, zero-knowledge password proof, or public-key authentications on HTTP, a kind of state management and key management facilities are required on the general HTTP authentication message framework. Also, to optimize performance of such authentication schemes, a well-designed mechanism for key caching and re-authentication are needed. The template defined in this document provides a generic foundation for implementing such advanced authentication technologies.}, }
