This document provides description of an EAP initiated key hierarchy as part of the solution for those problems. Additionally a modified version of the 3-party key distribution orocess ({[}I-D.ohba-hokey-3party-keydist-ps{]}) is proposed to provide a binding between the generated/distributed keys and the parties using the keys. A new EAP method called EAP handover and re-authentication (EAP\_HR) is also described to significantly reduce handover keying and re-authentication latency. AAA attributes and EAP type data extensions are also covered.}, }
