Both of which support method specific identity privacy mechanisms.. Is
there a reason why pseudonym username and/or fast re-authentication
username would not be sufficient protection? Please also note that both
EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA send out the username in plaintext during their
exchange, so it does not really matter at all how much one would try to
protect the value sent in EAP-Response/Identity. You can already send
"anonymous@<operator realm>" there and leave the username determination
to EAP-SIM/AKA.
