Extensible Authentication Protocol Key Management Framework
RFC 5247, “Extensible Authentication Protocol Key Management Framework”, is a Proposed Standard document published in August 2008 by B. Aboba, D. Simon, P. Eronen. It updates RFC 3748. It has since been updated by RFC 8940. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), defined in RFC 3748, enables extensible network access authentication. This document specifies the EAP key hierarchy and provides a framework for the transport and usage of keying material and parameters generated by EAP authentication algorithms, known as "methods". It also provides a detailed system-level security analysis, describing the conditions under which the key management guidelines described in RFC 4962 can be satisfied. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
