Hi all,

I just submitted a new version of the "Channel Binding Support for EAP
Methods" draft (http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-emu-chbind-04.txt).

This version addresses the recent discussions on the list.
The main problem seemed to be the scope of the -03 version because it
included authorization capabilities, i.e. channel bindings were used to
verify whether a NAS is *authorized* to provide an advertized service.
The new -04 draft has re-focused the scope to the original purpose of
channel bindings, namely preventing the lying NAS as well as the lying
provider problem.

The primary changes are in Section 1 (new more limited scope), Section
5.2 (removed authorization checks), and Section 10 (set up of policy
database no longer needed).

In addition Section 7.2.2 IEEE 802.11s was removed based on Bernard's
comment, who pointed out that the referenced attribute no longer exists
in the 11s draft.

Please read the new draft before the meeting in Hiroshima (in less than
3 weeks!). I believe the new draft addresses all open issues and is now
ready for WGLC.

Best regards,
Katrin
