The IESG has received a request from the Handover Keying WG (hokey) to consider the following document: - 'EAP Extensions for EAP Re-authentication Protocol (ERP)' <draft-ietf-hokey-rfc5296bis-06.txt> as a Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2012-03-12. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract The Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) is a generic framework supporting multiple types of authentication methods. In systems where EAP is used for authentication, it is desirable to avoid repeating the entire EAP exchange with another authenticator. This document specifies extensions to EAP and the EAP keying hierarchy to support an EAP method-independent protocol for efficient re- authentication between the peer and an EAP re-authentication server through any authenticator. The re-authentication server may be in the home network or in the local network to which the peer is connecting. This memo obsoletes RFC 5296. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-hokey-rfc5296bis/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-hokey-rfc5296bis/ballot/ This draft will be updated to actually include a reference to RFC 5296 (its sort of, but not quite, there now) and fix a couple of outdated references.
