Paul,

Whatever the state of ZigBee IP, it doesn't alter the fact that it successfully completed after an extensive specification, implementation and test program, demonstrating interoperability across 7 independent platforms,


Agreed.

so the solution is certainly proven.


There is no way I would designate a solution as proven w/o a significant field deployment.

    Re: PANA traction in the market.

    AFAIK Zigbee IP has no deployed footprint and none are pending.

    Wi-SUN consists of several profiles.  EchoNet and Field Area
    Network being prominent.  FAN is using 802.1X / EAP-TLS.

        Then please note that PANA is RFC, has multiple
        implementations, adopted by other standards (Zigbee and
        Wi-Sun), and already getting deployed (Wi-Sun).


            and minimize number of exchanges. In Q17 I see that Client
            Initiation message is omitted if network can detect on its
            own the presence of JN, which is not the case in 6tisch.

        OK.
        Note that, though, any solution you'd have would need to have
        the equivalent of that one message where the client says
        "hello, let's start auth".


            I suppose that we are then left with EAP overhead plus an
            extra discovery message.

        I see the EAP overhead is being debated already.
        But like I said above, discovery message needs to be supported
        by any other solution as well, hence I don't think it's extra
        for "EAP/PANA"

                Hello,

                I've read the thread. I see there are some
                PANA-related questions. Let me clarify them.

                Like Rafa said, PANA is already adopted and fully
                defined by Zigbee IP. Hence I'd expect it's ready to
                be used for 6tisch as well. Are there anything special
                here in 6tisch that'd make a difference with respect
                to network access authentication and key management?


                PANA assumes the JN has an IP address. That IP address
                can be a link-local IP address.
                (Not sure if this work really needs a solution that
                operates before *any* IP address is configured on the
                JN. But if it does, then here's an expired work on
                that front:
                
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-yegin-pana-unspecified-addr-06)

                    - Traffic load: minimum 4 messages for PANA + [ 5
                    messages for EAP-AKA, 15+ messages for EAP-TLS ] +
                    1 packet to provision K2

                Not sure where that "4 messages" come from. It can be
                "0". See Q16 and Q17 in
                http://www.panasec.org/docs/PANA-FAQ.txt.
                Also that last 1 packet is not needed either. The last
                packet sent from the authenticator can deliver that
                payload.

                I don't think a separate KMP is needed when we use PANA.
                Because:
                - EAP/PANA authentication generates PANA SA between
                the JCE and JN. Which can used for further key
                derivation. Given the PANA is extensible thru AVPs,
                additional parameters can be delivered between the
                end-points if necessary.
                - RFC 6786 defines how PANA can carry encrypted
                payloads, which can be used for delivering keys.

                I hope these help.

                Alper
