There is an obvious difference in scope: The scope of the ZigBee SEP profile is specifically Demand Response and Load Management applications. ZigBee uses IEEE P802.15.4-2003. The scope of the referenced PAR includes all current members of the 802.15 family of standards, which includes 5 distinct MAC and PHY standards (soon to be 6).

I'm sure Bob can elaborate further.

Hope that helps.

Hi Bob,

As you know, Zigbee Alliance has already adopted EAP/PANA for network access 
authentication and key agreement for Smart Energy Profile 2.0.

Is the problem you are seeking to solve the same problem, or a different one?

Thanks.

This week the PAR for KMP passed within 802.15:

https://mentor.ieee.org/802.15/dcn/11/15-11-0665-03-0kmp-kmp-5c-draft.doc

In the PAR we are requesting the creation of a Recommended Practice that will 
be identified as 802.15.8.

Next step is to get IEEE 802 approval which will be at the Atlanta meeting week 
prior to IETF.

For all the current documents for the KMPIG:

In particular

GIves the latest thoughts on how the shim will work and how the document will 
be structured.
