Handover Key Management and Re-Authentication Problem Statement
RFC 5169, “Handover Key Management and Re-Authentication Problem Statement”, is an Informational document published in March 2008 by T. Clancy, M. Nakhjiri, V. Narayanan, L. Dondeti. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes the Handover Keying (HOKEY) re-authentication problem statement. The current Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) keying framework is not designed to support re-authentication and handovers without re-executing an EAP method. This often causes unacceptable latency in various mobile wireless environments. This document details the problem and defines design goals for a generic mechanism to reuse derived EAP keying material for handover. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
