This document updates RFC 9048, "Improved Extensible Authentication
Protocol Method for 3GPP Mobile Network Authentication and Key
Agreement (EAP-AKA')", and its predecessor RFC 5448 with an optional
extension providing ephemeral key exchange. The extension EAP-AKA'
Forward Secrecy (EAP-AKA' FS), when negotiated, provides forward
secrecy for the session keys generated as a part of the
authentication run in EAP-AKA'. This prevents an attacker who has
gained access to the long-term key from obtaining session keys
established in the past. In addition, EAP-AKA' FS mitigates passive
attacks (e.g., large-scale pervasive monitoring) against future
sessions. This forces attackers to use active attacks instead.
This document is a product of the EAP Method Update Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
