This is all I'm suggesting we do. I think we should add text
to the document that gives guidance on the types of usages
for which a USRK would be appropriate. Usages should be for
functions related to the access network to which you are
connecting, and for functions where it is reasonable for your
access network to have an interest in authorization.
How about the following text for applicability:
"It must be noted that any application of EAP keying material to other
usages such as handoffs, IP mobility or other applications is only
feasible when those services are provided either by or through the
provider handling network access. It is also only feasible when those
usages only occur over EAP-capable interfaces. Hence, deriving USRKs or
DSUSRKs for usages other than those facilitated by the network access
provider is NOT RECOMMENDED."
Thanks,
Vidya
