Definition of Master Key between PANA Client and Enforcement Point

Overview

RFC 5807, “Definition of Master Key between PANA Client and Enforcement Point”, is a Proposed Standard document published in March 2010 by Y. Ohba, A. Yegin. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document defines a master key used between a client of the Protocol for carrying Authentication for Network Access (PANA) and an enforcement point, for bootstrapping lower-layer ciphering. The master key is derived from the Master Session Key of the Extensible Authentication Protocol as a result of successful PANA authentication. The master key guarantees cryptographic independence among enforcement points bootstrapped from PANA authentication across different address families. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
