Re: Last Call: draft-ietf-hokey-erx (EAP Extensions for EAP Re-authentication Protocol (ERP)) to Proposed Standard

2008-01-30 12:56:51
A couple of comments to be considered as part of the last call comments:

1. Some folks from 3GPP2 (Parag Agashe, Dinesh Dharmaraju and others) reviewed the document and pointed out that IANA stuff needs to be cleaned up further. Charles Clancy pointed out this earlier and we thought we caught all of them. Specifically, the following instances need to edited and clarified:

Page 16: "If the lifetime flag was set in the EAP-Initiate/Re-auth
         message, the ER server SHOULD include the rRK lifetime in the
         EAP-Finish/Re-auth message."

Whereas there is a lifetime flag in the EAP-Finish/Re-auth message, the corresponding TLV has not been specified.

Page 24: "Authenticator Identifier: This is a TLV payload. The Type is TBD "

Page 29: "cryptosuite list" TLV type assignment is not listed in the IANA section.

2. Katrin Hoper noted that "There might be a problem with the proposed usage of sequence numbers for
re-authentication, if multiple protocol sessions are initiated
_simultaneously_ by the same peer with several authenticators in range." and proposed addressing that issue "by allowing a window of acceptable sequence numbers"

Glen supported and said that we should "add the windowing scheme to the draft." (quoting slightly out of context, but Glen made his intent clear in an offline conversation).

+++++
We will address these issues and incorporate suggested changes in the next revision. I am cc'ing Tim so he can track these before forwarding to the IESG.

thanks,
Lakshminath
