Title : Generic EAP Encapsulation (GEE)
Author(s) : P. Barany, et al.
Filename : draft-barany-eap-gee-00.txt
Pages : 22

The Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) is a general
authentication protocol that supports multiple authentication methods
and typically runs directly over data link layers without requiring
IP. EAP can be used for both access and service authentication,
where the access network provider may or may not be the same as the
service network provider. However, EAP itself does not have the
ability to differentiate between access and service authentication.
Furthermore, when the service network provider is a mobility service
provider, Mobile IP-AAA signaling is/can be used for service
authentication; thereby making EAP service authentication redundant.
However, EAP itself does not have the ability to instruct the peer
that it should use Mobile IP-AAA signaling for service authentication
instead of EAP. This document specifies a general encapsulation
protocol, called Generic EAP Encapsulation (GEE), for differentiating
between access and service authentication and for communicating to
the peer that it should use Mobile IP-AAA signaling for service
authentication instead of EAP.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-barany-eap-gee-00.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.
