The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Distribution of EAP based keys for handover and re-authentication ' <draft-ietf-hokey-key-mgm-13.txt> as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Handover Keying Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Tim Polk and Pasi Eronen. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-hokey-key-mgm-13.txt Technical Summary This document describes a mechanism for delivering root keys from an Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) server to another network server that requires the keys for offering security protected services, such as re-authentication, to an EAP peer. The distributed root key can be either a usage-specific root key (USRK), a domain- specific root key (DSRK) or a domain-specific usage-specific root key (DSUSRK) that has been derived from an Extended Master Session Key (EMSK) hierarchy previously established between the EAP server and an EAP peer. The document defines a key distribution exchange (KDE) protocol that can distribute these different types of root keys over AAA and discusses its security requirements. Working Group Summary The hokey WG has reviewed the document without particular controversy. Document Quality The document is of high quality and well written. Personnel Glen Zorn is the Document Shepherd; Tim Polk is the Responsible Area Director. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
