A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Extensible Authentication Protocol Working Group of the IETF.
Title : State Machines for Extensible Authentication Protocol
(EAP) Peer and Authenticator
Author(s) : J. Vollbrecht, et al.
Filename : draft-ietf-eap-statemachine-05.txt,.pdf
Pages : 53
Date : 2004-9-27
This document describes a set of state machines for EAP peer, EAP
standalone authenticator (non-pass-through), EAP backend
authenticator (for use on Authentication, Authorization and
Accounting (AAA) servers), and EAP full authenticator (for both local
and pass-through). This set of state machines shows how EAP can be
implemented to support deployment in either a peer/authenticator or
peer/authenticator/AAA Server environment. The peer and standalone
authenticator machines are illustrative of how the EAP protocol
defined in [RFC3748] may be implemented. The backend and full/
pass-through authenticators illustrate how EAP/AAA protocol support
defined in [RFC3579] may be implemented. Where there are differences
[RFC3748]/[RFC3579] are authoritative.
The state machines are based on the EAP "Switch" model. This model
includes events and actions for the interaction between the EAP
Switch and EAP methods. A brief description of the EAP "Switch" model
is given in the Introduction section.
The State Machine and associated model are informative only.
Implementations may achieve the same results using different methods.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-eap-statemachine-05.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
