This document describes the Handover Keying (HOKEY) re-authentication
problem statement. The current Extensible Authentication Protocol
(EAP) keying framework is not designed to support re-authentication
and handovers without re-executing an EAP method. This often causes
unacceptable latency in various mobile wireless environments. This
document details the problem and defines design goals for a generic
mechanism to reuse derived EAP keying material for handover. This memo
provides information for the Internet community.
This document is a product of the Handover Keying Working Group of the IETF.
