Diameter Support for the EAP Re-authentication Protocol
RFC 6942, “Diameter Support for the EAP Re-authentication Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in May 2013 by J. Bournelle, L. Morand, S. Decugis, Q. Wu, G. Zorn. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The EAP Re-authentication Protocol (ERP) defines extensions to the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) to support efficient re-authentication between the peer and an EAP Re-authentication (ER) server through a compatible authenticator. This document specifies Diameter support for ERP. It defines a new Diameter ERP application to transport ERP messages between an ER authenticator and the ER server, and a set of new Attribute-Value Pairs (AVPs) that can be used to transport the cryptographic material needed by the re-authentication server.
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.
