RFC 3079: Deriving Keys for use with Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption (MPPE)

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

This document describes the method used to derive initial MPPE session keys from a variety of credential types. It is expected that this memo will be updated whenever Microsoft defines a new key derivation method for MPPE, since its primary purpose is to provide an open, easily accessible reference for third-parties wishing to interoperate with Microsoft products. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
