1.  Introduction

   In situations where it is desirable to centrally manage
   authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) for IEEE 802
   [IEEE-802] networks, deployment of a backend authentication and
   accounting server is desirable.  In such situations, it is expected
   that IEEE 802 authenticators will function as AAA clients.

   "IEEE 802.1X Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS)
   Usage Guidelines" [RFC3580] provides guidelines for the use of the
   Remote Authentication Dialin User Service (RADIUS) within networks
   utilizing IEEE 802 local area networks.  This document defines
   additional attributes suitable for usage by IEEE 802 authenticators
   acting as AAA clients.

1.1.  Terminology

This document uses the following terms:

Access Point (AP)
               A Station that provides access to the distribution
               services via the wireless medium for associated Stations.

Association    The service used to establish Access Point/Station
               mapping and enable Station invocation of the distribution
               system services.

authenticator  An authenticator is an entity that require authentication
               from the supplicant.  The authenticator may be connected
               to the supplicant at the other end of a point-to-point
               LAN segment or wireless link.

authentication server
               An authentication server is an entity that provides an
               authentication service to an authenticator.  This service
               verifies from the credentials provided by the supplicant,
               the claim of identity made by the supplicant.

Station (STA)  Any device that contains an IEEE 802.11 conformant medium
               access control (MAC) and physical layer (PHY) interface
               to the wireless medium (WM).

Supplicant     A supplicant is an entity that is being authenticated by
               an authenticator.  The supplicant may be connected to the
               authenticator at one end of a point-to-point LAN segment
               or 802.11 wireless link.

1.2.  Requirements Language

   In this document, several words are used to signify the requirements
   of the specification.  The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED",
   "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED",  "MAY",
   and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
   [RFC2119].

2.  RADIUS attributes

2.1.  Allowed-Called-Station-Id

   Description

      The Allowed-Called-Station-Id Attribute allows the RADIUS server
      to specify the authenticator MAC addresses and/or networks to
      which the user is allowed to connect.  One or more Allowed-Called-
      Station-Id attributes MAY be included in an Access-Accept, CoA-
      Request or Accounting-Request packet.

      The Allowed-Called-Station-Id Attribute can be useful in
      situations where pre-authentication is supported (e.g.  IEEE
      802.11 pre-authentication).  In these scenarios, a Called-Station-
      Id Attribute typically will not be included within the Access-
      Request so that the RADIUS server will not know the network that
      the user is attempting to access.  The Allowed-Called-Station-Id
      enables the RADIUS server to restrict the networks and attachment
      points to which the user can subsequently connect.

      A summary of the Allowed-Called-Station-Id Attribute format is
      shown below.  The fields are transmitted from left to right.

       0                   1                   2                   3

Aboba, et al.               Proposed Standard                   [Page 5]
INTERNET-DRAFT       RADIUS Attributes for IEEE 802        28 March 2014

      The String field is one or more octets, specifying a Called-
      Station-Id that the user MAY connect to; if the Called-Station-Id
      that the user connects to does not match one of the Allowed-
      Called-Station-Id Attributes, the Network Authentication Server
      (NAS) MUST NOT permit the user to access the network.

      In the case of IEEE 802, the Allowed-Called-Station-Id Attribute
      is used to store the Medium Access Control (MAC) address in ASCII
      format (upper case only), with octet values separated by a "-".
      Example: "00-10-A4-23-19-C0".  Where restrictions on both the
      network and authenticator MAC address usage are intended, the
      network name MUST be appended to the authenticator MAC address,
      separated from the MAC address with a ":".  Example:
      "00-10-A4-23-19-C0:AP1".  Where no MAC address restriction is
      intended, the MAC address field MUST be omitted, but ":" and the
      network name field MUST be included.  Example: ":AP1".

      Within IEEE 802.11 [IEEE-802.11], the SSID constitutes the network
      name; within IEEE 802.1X [IEEE-802.1X] wired networks, the
      Network-Id Name (NID-Name) constitutes the network name.  Since a
      NID-Name can be up to 253 octets in length, when used with
      [IEEE-802.1X] wired networks, there may not be sufficient room
      within the Allowed-Called-Station-Id Attribute to include both a
      MAC address and a Network Name.  However, as the Allowed-Called-
      Station-Id Attribute is expected to be used largely in wireless
      access scenarios, this restriction is not considered serious.

2.2.  EAP-Key-Name

   Description

      The EAP-Key-Name Attribute, defined in "Diameter Extensible
      Authentication Protocol (EAP) Application" [RFC4072], contains the
      EAP Session-Id, as described in "Extensible Authentication
      Protocol (EAP) Key Management Framework" [RFC5247].  Exactly how
      this Attribute is used depends on the link layer in question.

      It should be noted that not all link layers use this name.  An
      EAP-Key-Name Attribute MAY be included within Access-Request,
      Access-Accept and CoA-Request packets.  A summary of the EAP-Key-
      Name Attribute format is shown below.  The fields are transmitted
      from left to right.

       0                   1                   2                   3

   Code

      102 [RFC4072]

   Length

      >=3

   String

      The String field is one or more octets, containing the EAP
      Session-Id, as defined in "Extensible Authentication Protocol
      (EAP) Key Management Framework" [RFC5247].  Since the NAS operates
      as a pass-through in EAP, it cannot know the EAP Session-Id before
      receiving it from the RADIUS server.  As a result, an EAP-Key-Name
      Attribute sent in an Access-Request MUST only contain a single NUL
      character.  A RADIUS server receiving an Access-Request with an
      EAP-Key-Name Attribute containing anything other than a single NUL
      character MUST silently discard the Attribute.  In addition, the
      RADIUS server SHOULD include this Attribute in an Access-Accept or
      CoA-Request only if an EAP-Key-Name Attribute was present in the
      Access-Request.  Since a NAS will typically only include a EAP-
      Key-Name Attribute in an Access-Request in situations where the
      Attribute is required to provision service, if an EAP-Key-Name
      Attribute is included in an Access-Request but is not present in
      the Access-Accept, the NAS SHOULD treat the Access-Accept as
      though it were an Access-Reject.  If an EAP-Key-Name Attribute was
      not present in the Access-Request but is included in the Access-
      Accept, then the NAS SHOULD silently discard the EAP-Key-Name
      Attribute.  As noted in [IEEE-802.1X] Section 6.2.2, the
      Connectivity Association Key Name (CKN) is derived from the EAP
      Session-Id, and  as described in Section 9.3.3, the CKN is
      subsequently used in the derivation of the Key Encrypting Key
      (KEK) and the Integrity Check Value Key (ICK), utilized to protect
      the secret keys (SAKs) utilized by Media Access Control Security
      (MACsec).  As a result, for the NAS to acquire information needed
      in the MACsec Key Agreement (MKA) exchange, it needs to include
      the EAP-Key-Name attribute in the Access-Request and receive it
      from the RADIUS server in the Access-Accept.

2.3.  EAP-Peer-Id

   Description

      The EAP-Peer-Id Attribute contains a Peer-Id generated by the EAP
      method.  Exactly how this name is used depends on the link layer
      in question.  See [RFC5247] for more discussion.  The EAP-Peer-Id
      Attribute MAY be included in Access-Request, Access-Accept and

Aboba, et al.               Proposed Standard                   [Page 7]
INTERNET-DRAFT       RADIUS Attributes for IEEE 802        28 March 2014

      Accounting-Request packets.  More than one EAP-Peer-Id Attribute
      MUST NOT be included in an Access-Request; one or more EAP-Peer-Id
      attributes MAY be included in an Access-Accept.

      It should be noted that not all link layers use this name, and
      existing EAP method implementations do not generate it.  Since the
      NAS operates as a pass-through in EAP [RFC3748], it cannot know
      the EAP-Peer-Id before receiving it from the RADIUS server.  As a
      result, an EAP-Peer-Id Attribute sent in an Access-Request MUST
      only contain a single NUL character.  A home RADIUS server
      receiving an Access-Request an EAP-Peer-Id Attribute containing
      anything other than a single NUL character MUST silently discard
      the Attribute.  In addition, the home RADIUS server SHOULD include
      one or more EAP-Peer-Id attributes in an Access-Accept only if an
      EAP-Peer-Id Attribute was present in the Access-Request.  If a NAS
      receives EAP-Peer-Id Attribute(s) in an Access-Accept without
      having included one in an Access-Request, the NAS SHOULD silently
      discard the Attribute(s).  A summary of the EAP-Peer-Id Attribute
      format is shown below.  The fields are transmitted from left to
      right.

      The String field is one or more octets containing a EAP Peer-Id
      exported by the EAP method.  For details, see [RFC5247] Appendix
      A.  A robust implementation SHOULD support the field as
      undistinguished octets.  Only a single EAP Peer-Id may be included
      per Attribute.

2.4.  EAP-Server-Id

   Description

      The EAP-Server-Id Attribute contains a Server-Id generated by the

      EAP method.  Exactly how this name is used depends on the link
      layer in question.  See [RFC5247] for more discussion.  The EAP-
      Server-Id Attribute is only allowed in Access-Request, Access-
      Accept, and Accounting-Request packets.  More than one EAP-Server-
      Id Attribute MUST NOT be included in an Access-Request; one or
      more EAP-Server-Id attributes MAY be included in an Access-Accept.

      It should be noted that not all link layers use this name, and
      existing EAP method implementations do not generate it.  Since the
      NAS operates as a pass-through in EAP [RFC3748], it cannot know
      the EAP-Server-Id before receiving it from the RADIUS server.  As

      receiving in an Access-Request an EAP-Server-Id Attribute
      containing anything other than a single NUL character MUST
      silently discard the Attribute.  In addition, the home RADIUS
      server SHOULD include this Attribute an Access-Accept only if an
      EAP-Server-Id Attribute was present in the Access-Request.  A

2.6.  Preauth-Timeout

   Description

      This Attribute sets the maximum number of seconds which pre-
      authentication state is required to be kept by the NAS, without
      being utilized within a user session.  For example, when
      [IEEE-802.11] pre-authentication is used, if a user has not
      attempted to utilize the Pairwise Master Key (PMK) derived as a
      result of pre-authentication within the time specified by the
      Preauth-Timeout Attribute, the PMK MAY be discarded by the Access
      Point.  However, once the session is underway, the Preauth-Timeout
      Attribute has no bearing on the maximum session time for the user,

      or the maximum time during which key state may be kept prior to
      re-authentication.  This is determined by the Session-Timeout
      Attribute, if present.

      A single Preauth-Timeout Attribute MAY be included within an
      Access-Accept or CoA-Request packet.  A summary of the Preauth-
      Timeout Attribute format is shown below.  The fields are
      transmitted from left to right.

   Value

      The field is 4 octets, containing a 32-bit unsigned integer
      encoding the maximum time in seconds that pre-authentication state
      should be retained by the NAS.

2.7.  Network-Id-Name

   Description

      The Network-Id-Name Attribute is utilized by implementations of
      IEEE-802.1X [IEEE-802.1X] to specify the name of a Network-Id
      (NID-Name).

      Unlike the IEEE 802.11 SSID (which is a maximum of 32 octets in
      length), the NID-Name may be up to 253 octets in length.
      Consequently, if the MAC address is included within the Called-
      Station-Id Attribute, it is possible that there will not be enough
      remaining space to encode the NID-Name as well.  Therefore when
      used with IEEE 802.1X [IEEE-802.1X], the Called-Station-Id
      Attribute SHOULD contain only the MAC address, with the Network-
      Id-Name Attribute used to transmit the NID-Name.  The Network-Id-
      Name Attribute MUST NOT be used to encode the IEEE 802.11 SSID; as

Aboba, et al.               Proposed Standard                  [Page 11]
INTERNET-DRAFT       RADIUS Attributes for IEEE 802        28 March 2014

      noted in [RFC3580], the Called-Station-Id Attribute is used for
      this purpose.

      Zero or one Network-Id-Name Attribute is permitted within an
      Access-Request, Access-Challenge, Access-Accept or Accounting-
      Request packet.  When included within an Access-Request packet,
      the Network-Id-Name Attribute represents a hint of the NID-Name to
      which the Supplicant should be granted access.  When included
      within an Access-Accept packet, the Network-Id-Name Attribute
      represents the NID-Name to which the Supplicant is to be granted
      access.  When included within an Accounting-Request packet, the
      Network-Id-Name Attribute represents the NID-Name to which the
      Supplicant has been granted access.

      A summary of the Network-Id-Name Attribute format is shown below.

2.8.  EAPoL-Announcement

   Description

      The Extensible Authentication Protocol over Local Area Network
      (EAPoL)-Announcement Attribute contains EAPoL-Announcement Type
      Length Value Tuples (TLVs) defined within Table 11-8 of
      IEEE-802.1X [IEEE-802.1X].

      Zero or more EAPoL-Announcement attributes are permitted within an
      Access-Request, Access-Accept, Access-Challenge, Access-Reject,

      Accounting-Request, CoA-Request or Disconnect-Request packet.

      When included within an Access-Request packet, EAPoL-Announcement
      attributes contain EAPoL-Announcement TLVs that the user sent in
      an EAPoL-Announcement.  When included within an Access-Accept,
      Access-Challenge, Access-Reject, CoA-Request or Disconnect-Request
      packet, EAPoL-Announcement attributes contain EAPoL-Announcement
      TLVs that the NAS is to send to the user in a unicast EAPoL-
      Announcement.  When sent within an Accounting-Request packet,
      EAPoL-Announcment attributes contain EAPoL-Announcement TLVs that
      the NAS has most recently sent to the user in a unicast EAPoL-
      Announcement.

      The String field is one or more octets, containing EAPoL-
      Announcement TLVs in the format defined in Figure 11-8 of Section
      11.12 of [IEEE-802.1X].  Any EAPoL-Announcement TLV Type MAY be
      included within an EAPoL-Announcement Attribute, including
      Organizationally Specific TLVs.  If multiple EAPoL-Announcement
      attributes are present in a packet, their String fields MUST be
      concatenated before being parsed for EAPoL-Announcement TLVs; this
      allows EAPoL-Announcement TLVs longer than 253 octets to be
      transported by RADIUS.  Similarly, EAPoL-Announcement TLVs larger
      than 253 octets MUST be fragmented between multiple EAPoL-
      Announcement attributes.

2.9.  WLAN-HESSID

   Description

      The WLAN-HESSID attribute contains a MAC address that identifies
      the Homogenous Extended Service Set. The HESSID is a globally
      unique identifier that in conjunction with the SSID, encoded
      within the Called-Station-Id Attribute as described in [RFC3580],
      may be used to provide network identification for a subscription
      service provider network (SSPN), as described in Section 8.4.2.94
      of [IEEE-802.11].  Zero or one WLAN-HESSID Attribute is permitted
      within an Access-Request or Accounting-Request packet.

     0     This Attribute MUST NOT be present in packet.
     0+    Zero or more instances of this Attribute MAY be
           present in the packet.
     0-1   Zero or one instance of this Attribute MAY be
           present in the packet.

4.  IANA Considerations

   This document uses the RADIUS [RFC2865] namespace, see
   <http://www.iana.org/assignments/radius-types>.  This specification
   requires assignment of a RADIUS attribute types for the following
   attributes:

   Attribute                        Type
   =========                        ====
   Allowed-Called-Station-Id        TBD1
   EAP-Peer-Id                      TBD2
   EAP-Server-Id                    TBD3
   Mobility-Domain-Id               TBD4
   Preauth-Timeout                  TBD5
   Network-Id-Name                  TBD6
   EAPoL-Announcement               TBD7
   WLAN-HESSID                      TBD8
   WLAN-Venue-Info                  TBD9
   WLAN-Venue-Language             TBD10
   WLAN-Venue-Name                 TBD11
   WLAN-Reason-Code                TBD12
   WLAN-Pairwise-Cipher            TBD13
   WLAN-Group-Cipher               TBD14
   WLAN-AKM-Suite                  TBD15
   WLAN-Group-Mgmt-Cipher          TBD16
   WLAN-RF-Band                    TBD17

   Since this specification relies entirely on values assigned by IEEE
   802, no registries are established for maintenance by the IANA.

5.  Security Considerations

   Since this document describes the use of RADIUS for purposes of
   authentication, authorization, and accounting in IEEE 802 networks,
   it is vulnerable to all of the threats that are present in other
   RADIUS applications.  For a discussion of these threats, see
   [RFC2607], [RFC2865], [RFC3162], [RFC3579], [RFC3580] and [RFC5176].
   In particular, when RADIUS traffic is sent in the clear, the
   attributes defined in this document can be obtained by an attacker
   snooping the exchange between the RADIUS client and server.  As a
   result, RADIUS confidentiality is desirable; for a review of RADIUS
   security and crypto-agility requirements, see [RFC6421].

Aboba, et al.               Proposed Standard                  [Page 24]
INTERNET-DRAFT       RADIUS Attributes for IEEE 802        28 March 2014

   While it is possible for a RADIUS server to make decisions on whether
   to Accept or Reject an Access-Request based on the values of the
   WLAN-Pairwise-Cipher, WLAN-Group-Cipher, WLAN-AKM-Suite, WLAN-Group-
   Mgmt-Cipher and WLAN-RF-Band Attributes the value of doing this is
   limited.  In general, an Access-Reject should not be necessary,
   except where Access Points and Stations are misconfigured so as to
   enable connections to be made with unacceptable values.  Rather than
   rejecting access on an ongoing basis, users would be better served by
   fixing the misconfiguration.

   Where access does need to be rejected, the user should be provided
   with an indication of why the problem has occurred, or else they are
   likely to become frustrated.  For example, if the values of the WLAN-
   Pairwise-Cipher, WLAN-Group-Cipher, WLAN-AKM-Suite or WLAN-Group-
   Mgmt-Cipher Attributes included in the Access-Request are not
   acceptable to the RADIUS server, then a WLAN-Reason-Code Attribute
   with a value of 29 (Requested service rejected because of service
   provider cipher suite or AKM requirement) SHOULD be returned in the
   Access-Reject.  Similarly, if the value of the WLAN-RF-Band Attribute
   included in the Access-Request is not acceptable to the RADIUS
   server, then a WLAN-Reason-Code Attribute with a value of 11
   (Disassociated because the information in the Supported Channels
   element is unacceptable) SHOULD be returned in the Access-Reject.
