Abstract
ROAMING-ELGAMAL is an SASL [SASL] authentication mechanism in which ElGamal [ELG] public key cryptography is used to encrypt the persona and password thus giving a high degree of security. Although specifically designed for the Simple Roaming Authentication Protocol [SRAP], ROAMING-ELGAMAL is intended to be a registered SASL mechanism and so could be adapted to other protocols. The mechanism has been designed to resist attack from interception, man in the middle, and replay. The security of the mechanism rests with the protection of the private key.
