Technical Summary

   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.

Working Group Summary

The document received a detailed early IoT directorate review.

[Emu] Last Call: (Using EAP-TLS with TLS 1.3 (EAP-TLS 1.3)) to Proposed Standard

2021-09-06 Thread The IESG


The IESG has received a request from the EAP Method Update WG (emu) to
consider the following document: - 'Using EAP-TLS with TLS 1.3 (EAP-TLS 1.3)'
   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
last-c...@ietf.org mailing lists by 2021-09-20. Exceptionally, comments may
be sent to i...@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning
of the Subject line to allow automated sorting.

Abstract


   The Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), defined in RFC 3748,
   provides a standard mechanism for support of multiple authentication
   methods.  This document specifies the use of EAP-Transport Layer
   Security (EAP-TLS) with TLS 1.3 while remaining backwards compatible
   with existing implementations of EAP-TLS.  TLS 1.3 provides
   significantly improved security, privacy, and reduced latency when
   compared to earlier versions of TLS.  EAP-TLS with TLS 1.3 (EAP-TLS
   1.3) further improves security and privacy by always providing
   forward secrecy, never disclosing the peer identity, and by mandating
   use of revocation checking.  This document also provides guidance on
   authentication, authorization, and resumption for EAP-TLS in general
   (regardless of the underlying TLS version used).  This document
   updates RFC 5216.
