PSWDMGMT BOF Minutes

Agenda

The Password Management group met in St.  Louis as an informal Birds of
a Feather session.  The efforts of this group fall into two categories.
The first is to define a series of protocols to be used within the
context of the Common Authentication Technology (CAT). The second is to
discuss issues involved in the use of one-time passwords on the Internet
without the modification of existing TELNET client software.

It was decided that the first activity is best performed under the
auspices of the CAT Working Group.  The second activity isn't really an
activity that would lead to a protocol per-se and is therefore best left
to implementors.  The SAAG will encourage such implementations and may
in the future act to make the technology more widely available.

The group will cease formal activities.  However, the exploration of
one-time password mechanisms and their impact on telnet in particular
will remain a SAAG work item.
