The EAP Re-authentication Protocol Local Domain Name DHCPv6 Option
RFC 6440, “The EAP Re-authentication Protocol Local Domain Name DHCPv6 Option”, is a Proposed Standard document published in December 2011 by G. Zorn, Q. Wu, Y. Wang. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
In order to derive a Domain-Specific Root Key (DSRK) from the Extended Master Session Key (EMSK) generated as a side effect of an Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) method, the EAP peer must discover the name of the domain to which it is attached.
This document specifies a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Version 6 (DHCPv6) option designed to allow a DHCPv6 server to inform clients using the EAP Re-authentication Protocol (ERP) EAP method of the name of the local domain for ERP. [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.
