The IESG has approved the following document: - 'EAP Extensions for EAP Re-authentication Protocol (ERP)' (draft-ietf-hokey-rfc5296bis-07.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Handover Keying Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Stephen Farrell and Sean Turner. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-hokey-rfc5296bis/ Technical Summary 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. Working Group Summary The document is a product of the Hokey working group. The document has working group consensus. Document Quality The document simplifies the usage scenarios identified and optimizes the procedure, protocol for the specific usage scenario. This document has gotten sufficient review from people with both OPS and Security background. The quality of the document is good. Personnel Tina Tsou is the document shepherd. Stephen Farrell is the responsible AD
