Pre-Authentication Support for the Protocol for
Carrying Authentication for Network Access (PANA)
Abstract
This document defines an extension to the Protocol for Carrying
Authentication for Network Access (PANA) for proactively establishing
a PANA Security Association between a PANA Client in one access
network and a PANA Authentication Agent in another access network to
which the PANA Client may move.

1. Introduction
The Protocol for Carrying Authentication for Network Access (PANA)
[RFC5191] carries Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) messages
between a PANA Client (PaC) and a PANA Authentication Agent (PAA) in
the access network. If the PaC is a mobile device and is capable of
moving from one access network to another while running its
applications, it is critical for the PaC to perform a handover
seamlessly without degrading the performance of the applications
during the handover period. When the handover requires the PaC to
establish a PANA session with the PAA in the new access network, the
signaling to establish the PANA session should be completed as fast
as possible. See [RFC5836] for the handover latency requirements.
This document defines an extension to the PANA protocol [RFC5191]
used for proactively executing EAP authentication and establishing a
PANA SA (Security Association) between a PaC in an access network and
a PAA in another access network to which the PaC may move. The
extension to the PANA protocol is designed to realize direct
pre-authentication defined in [RFC5836]. How to realize
authorization and accounting with the use of the pre-authentication
extension is out of the scope of this document.
