eap Mailing List: PKMv2 EAP Authenctication

[Rengith Thomas (Rengith.Thomas]

Hi All,

I was seeing the feasiblity of using
IEEE 802.1x  EPOL code for handling the 
PKMv2 Eap authentication.

MY network model is as given below.
 
EAP-method        
                     
                     
                     
                     
        EAP-method
EAP          
                EAP   EAP
             EAP EAP      
                     
            EAP
PKMv2          
           PKMv2 ???      
     ??? RADIUS            
                     
 RADIUS
------------        
           ------------      
            -------------------------  
                     
   -----------
MSS/EAP_peer    BS/EAP_Proxy
    Gateway/EAP_Authenticator     AS

The link between BS and MS is wireless
using 802.16e(Wibro)
BS acts as a relay agnet and having
functionality.
 1. On uplink BS removes EAP pdus
from the PKMv2 encapsulation, encapsulates the EAP and then send the packet
using 
     auth relay protocol
to authencticator which is a RADIUS client.
      
 2. On downlink BS removes EAP
pdus from a proprietary protocol  encapsulation,
encapsulates them in PKMv2 and  
 forwards them to the MSS

Can u just give me some idea how to
implement the Authentication process in each networking entity.
Mostly regarding the key implemantaion.

MSK(master session Key),?
Who and how to generate  PMK and
AK?
 

Regards,
Rengith Thomas
