Technical Summary
This draft documents the original thinking behind the
development of the authentication protocol for Mobile IPv6,
in addition to the IPsec-based security already provided in
the base Mobile IPv6 RFC.
Working Group Summary
This is a product of the MIP6 WG.
Document Quality
Extensive discussion of this draft has gone on the list and
with the AD. Significant revision of the document was done
based on the dicussion.
Personnel
There is no shepherd. MEXT chairs are looking after this,
if there is any need for WG action. The responsible AD is
Jari Arkko.

3. In many deployments the authentication credentials already exist
in a AAA server. These credentials are used for authenticating a
user and authorizing network access. The same credentials and
security parameters can be reused for MIP6 security as well.
NEW:
3. In many deployments the authentication credentials already exist
in a AAA server. These credentials are used for authenticating a
user and authorizing network access. The same credentials and
security parameters cannot be reused for MIP6 security as well,
if IKEv1 is used.
In Section 4, change:

There is no practical mechanism to
use IPsec directly with the AAA infrastructure with out the use of
IKEv2 or some other mechanism that enables the establishment of the
IPsec SA between the MN and HA.
