Title : EAP Extensions Problem Statement
Author(s) : L. Dondeti, V. Narayanan
Filename : draft-dondeti-eapext-ps-00.txt
Pages : 13

The extensible authentication protocol (EAP), specified in RFC3748
[1] is a generic framework supporting multiple authentication
methods. The EAP keying hierarchy specified in [2] has two top level
keys: a master session key (MSK) and an extended MSK (EMSK). The MSK
is used for access control enforcement, whereas the purpose of EMSK
is to be defined. Several proposals for the use of the EMSK have
been made, among them are support for efficient re-authentication of
the EAP peer as it moves from one authenticator to another,
bootstrapping preshared keys, visited domain key management. In this
document, we explore the various proposed uses of the EMSK key
hierarchy and the design considerations in specifying the EMSK key
hierarchy.

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.
