In multi rounds full EAP authentication, the - Destination-Host AVP provides the solution to reach the same server - across the exchanges. Only this server possess the EMSK for the session. - In case of explicit bootstrapping, the ER server must therefore be able - to reach the correct server to request the DSRK. A solution might - consist in saving the Origin-Host AVP of all successful EAP/DEA in the - ER server, which is a bit similar to the implicit bootstrapping scenario - described here -- only we save the server name instead of the root key, - and we must then be able to match the DSRK with the user name.</t> - - <t>Finally, this document currently lacks a description of what happens - when a Re-Auth-Request is received for a peer on the authenticator.</t> - </section> - - <section anchor="Acknowledgements" title="Acknowledgements"> - <t>Hannes Tschofenig wrote the initial draft for this document and - provided useful reviews.</t> - - <t>Vidya Narayanan reviewed a rough draft version of the document and - found some errors.</t> - - <t>Lakshminath Dondeti contributed to the early versions of the - document.</t> - - <t>Many thanks to these people!</t> - </section> + <section anchor="Acknowledgements" title="Acknowledgements"> + <t> + Hannes Tschofenig wrote the initial draft for this document and + provided useful reviews. + <vspace blankLines="1"/> + Vidya Narayanan reviewed a rough draft version of the document and + found some errors. + <vspace blankLines="1"/> + Lakshminath Dondeti contributed to the early versions of the + document. + <vspace blankLines="1"/> + Many thanks to these people! + </t> + </section> - <section anchor="IANA" title="IANA Considerations"> - <t>This document requires IANA registration of the following new - elements in the <eref - target="http://www.iana.org/assignments/aaa-parameters/">Authentication, - Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) Parameters</eref> registries.</t> - - <section title="Diameter ERP application"> - <t>This specification requires IANA to allocate a new value "Diameter - ERP" in the "Application IDs" registry created by in <xref - target="RFC3588"></xref>.</t> + <section anchor="IANA" title="IANA Considerations"> + <t> + This document requires IANA registration of the following new + elements in the <eref target="http://www.iana.org/assignments/aaa-parameters/">Authentication, + Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) Parameters</eref> registries. + </t> + <section title="Diameter Application Identifier"> + <t> + This specification requires IANA to allocate a new value "Diameter + ERP" in the "Application IDs" registry + <xref target="RFC3588">using the policy specified in Section 11.3 of RFC 3588</xref>. + </t> + </section> - <figure title="IANA consideration for Diameter ERP application"> - <artwork><![CDATA[ - Application Identifier | Value - -----------------------------------+------ - Diameter ERP | TBD -]]></artwork> - </figure> - </section> - - <section title="New AVPs"> - <t>This specification requires IANA to allocate new values from the - "AVP Codes" registry defined in <xref target="RFC3588"></xref> for the - following AVPs:<list> - <t>ERP-RK-Request</t> - - <t>ERP-Realm</t> - - <t>ERP-RK-Answer</t> + <section title="New AVPs"> + <t> + This specification requires IANA to allocate new values from the + "AVP Codes" registry + <xref target="RFC3588">according to the policy specified in Section 11.1 of RFC 3588</xref> + for the + following AVPs: + <list> + <t>ERP-RK-Request</t> + <t>ERP-Realm</t> + </list>These AVPs are defined in section <xref target="AVPs"></xref>. + </t> + </section> + </section> - <t>ERP-RK</t> - - <t>ERP-RK-Name</t> - - <t>ERP-RK-Lifetime</t> - </list>These AVPs are defined in section <xref - target="AVPs"></xref>.</t> - </section> - </section> - - <section anchor="Security" title="Security Considerations"> - <t>The security considerations from the following RFC apply here: <xref - target="RFC3588"></xref>, <xref target="RFC4072"></xref>, <xref - target="RFC5247"></xref>, <xref target="RFC5295"></xref>, and <xref - target="RFC5296"></xref>.</t> - - <t><cref>FFS: Do we really respect these security considerations with - the mechanism we describe here?
