Technical Summary
Extensible Authentication Protocol early authentication may be
defined as the use of EAP by a mobile device to establish
authenticated keying material on a target attachment point prior to
its arrival. This draft discusses the EAP early authentication
problem in detail.
Working Group Summary
The Working Group experienced major controversy over the inclusion
of what was eventually termed the "Authenticated Anticipatory Keying
Usage Model" within the document. The controversy between the new
model and "EAP preauthentication" was resolved by reserving the
latter term for a very specific architectural arrangement and creating
a distinct name for the new model. This change was also reflected in
a new document title.
Document Quality
The document is a problem statement and as such, lays the groundwork
for development of solutions to the identified problems.
