The IESG has received a request from the EAP Method Update WG (emu) to consider the following document: - 'Nimble out-of-band authentication for EAP (EAP-NOOB)' <draft-ietf-emu-eap-noob-04.txt> as Proposed Standard
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the [email protected] mailing lists by 2021-04-13. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to [email protected] instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract The Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) provides support for multiple authentication methods. This document defines the EAP-NOOB authentication method for nimble out-of-band (OOB) authentication and key derivation. The EAP method is intended for bootstrapping all kinds of Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices that have no pre-configured authentication credentials. The method makes use of a user-assisted one-directional OOB message between the peer device and authentication server to authenticate the in-band key exchange. The device must have an input or output interface, such as a display, microphone, speaker or blinking light, which can send or receive dynamically generated messages of tens of bytes in length. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-emu-eap-noob/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. _______________________________________________ Emu mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/emu
