  1. EMU BOF EAP Method Requirements Bernard Aboba Microsoft Thursday, November 10, 2005 IETF 64, Vancouver, CA

  2. EAP Method Requirements • Input received • Liaison requests received from 3GPP, IEEE 802.11 • 3GPP dependencies on EAP SIM, AKA • EAP SIM, AKA now in RFC Editor Queue • IEEE 802.11 liaison request written up as RFC 4017 • Work in progress • Discussion of potential use of EAP in peer-to-peer scenarios (IEEE 802.1af, IEEE 802.11s) • Not clear that EAP will be used in these scenarios or that new requests/requirements will come out of them

  3. EAP Method Requirements for WLANs (RFC 4017) • Credential types (Section 2.1) • “Wireless LAN deployments are expected to use different credential types, including digital certificates, user-names and passwords, existing secure tokens, and mobile network credentials (GSM and UMTS secrets). Other credential types that may be used include public/private key (without necessarily requiring certificates) and asymmetric credential support (such as password on one side, public/private key on the other).”

  4. RFC 4017 (cont’d) • Mandatory Requirements • Key generation • Key strength • Mutual authentication • Shared state equivalence • Dictionary attack resistance • Man-in-the-middle attack protection • Protected ciphersuite negotiation • Recommended Requirements • Fragmentation support • Identity hiding • Optional Features • Channel Binding • Fast reconnect

  5. RFC 4017 Progress Report • Core mechanisms • Certificates • EAP-TLS (RFC 2716) deployed • Usernames & Passwords – no widely deployed methods • Secure Tokens • Several incompatible methods deployed (GTC, RSA, POTP) • Mobile Network Credentials • EAP SIM, AKA in RFC Editor Queue • Other mechanisms • Public/Private key (no certificates) – no widely deployed methods • Asymmetric credentials (password/public key) • Several incompatible proposals (PEAPv0, PEAPv1, EAP-TTLSv0, EAP-TTLSv1, etc.) • Not mentioned • Usernames & Pre-shared keys • Multiple proposals, none widely deployed

  6. Some Thoughts • Basic usage scenarios still unsolved • Secure, small footprint mechanisms needed • Likely to be deployed in consumer, small office scenarios • Single NAS deployments with no AAA server • AAA servers targeted to small business • EAP peer on embedded devices • EMU must resist draining the swamp • Standardization of mechanisms in areas with many existing proposals and IPR disclosures is seductive, but dangerous • Likely to result in endless bickering, slow progress • Yet anOther Method Absent MotivAtion (YOMAMA) • Doing one thing well better than trying everything, but failing
