| Body: | In your liaison of October, 2007, you asked the IETF to adopt "a
mechanism such as that proposed in draft-pruss-dhcp-auth-dsl-01.txt or
draft-zhao-dhc-user-authentication-02" as a work item.
The IETF discussed this request at the IETF 70 Internet Area (intarea)
open session, concluding that more information about the protocol was
needed. A small team of experts was asked to write an analysis of the
mechanism proposed in draft-pruss-dhcp-auth-dsl. Writing the analysis
turned out to be an interactive process, in which
draft-pruss-dhcp-auth-dsl was revised to reflect the points made in
the analysis document and the analysis was updated to reflect the
changes in draft-pruss-dhcp-auth-dsl. That process has finished; the
analysis is available in draft-jjmb-dhc-eap-auth-analysis-02 and the
updated DHCP-based authentication specification is in
draft-pruss-dhcp-auth-dsl-07.
Now that the analysis is complete, the Internet Area can reconsider
the original question: will the IETF take on this work? The question
is being discussed on the int-area@ietf.org mailing list and will be
resolved at the upcoming IETF meeting in Anaheim, CA, at the end of
March, 2010. |
