State Machines for
the Protocol for Carrying Authentication for Network Access (PANA)
Abstract
This document defines the conceptual state machines for the Protocol
for Carrying Authentication for Network Access (PANA). The state
machines consist of the PANA Client (PaC) state machine and the PANA
Authentication Agent (PAA) state machine. The two state machines
show how PANA can interface with the Extensible Authentication
Protocol (EAP) state machines. The state machines and associated
models are informative only. Implementations may achieve the same
results using different methods.
