[Lakshminath Dondeti (ldondeti]

Hi all,

Pete, Vidya, Ramin and I propose a new EAP encapsulation scheme to 
signal access or service authentication to support multiple parallel 
authentications (among other things, Please see below for the 
abstract and a link to the I-D) using EAP.  The plan is to use this 
in 3GPP2 and perhaps in 802 networks.

We requested Jari and Bernard for a slot for presentation at the EAP 
WG.  We realize that this work might not fit within the scope of 
either EAP or EMU, but we would like to get reviews from the EAP 
community before requesting publication.

Thanks in advance.

best regards,
Lakshminath

> The Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) is a general

> service network provider.  However, EAP itself does not have the
> ability to differentiate between access and service authentication.
> Furthermore, when the service network provider is a mobility service
> provider, Mobile IP-AAA signaling is/can be used for service
> authentication; thereby making EAP service authentication redundant.
> However, EAP itself does not have the ability to instruct the peer
