Title : EAP Extensions for Efficient Re-authentication
Author(s) : V. Narayanan, L. Dondeti
Filename : draft-vidya-eap-er-01.txt
Pages : 25

The extensible authentication protocol (EAP) is a generic framework
supporting multiple types of authentication methods. In the most
common deployment scenario, an EAP peer and server authenticate each
other through an authenticator; the server sends one of the master
session keys to the authenticator so that the peer and the
authenticator can establish a security association for per-packet
access enforcement. It is desirable to not repeat the entire process
of authentication when the peer moves to another authenticator. This
document specifies extensions to EAP keying hierarchy and an EAP
method-independent protocol to facilitate such efficient Re-
authentication between the peer and the server through a new
authenticator.

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
