FYI,

PatC

This is to confirm one session for EAP BOF as follows:

    Friday, December 11 at 0900-1130
	other groups scheduled at that time: ptopomib, idr, megaco, avt, ipngwg

--------

Name:       Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) BOF
Area:         Security
Chair:        Glen Zorn (Microsoft)
Purpose:   Understand the extensions and or modifications required to
generalize EAP (RFC 2284) for use outside of PPP.
Goal:          Form a WG to design and formalize the necessary extensions.

Conflicts to Avoid:  CAT, IPSEC, PPP, ROAMOPS, AAA BOF
Expected Attendance: 75

Proposed Agenda
1. Agenda bashing.
2. What is the problem?
3. Is EAP the right solution?
4. How much work is involved?
4. Is the formation of a WG a good idea?
5. Definition of Working Group charter?

Rationale
Over the last few months, it has become apparent that several groups within
the IETF are facing the same problem, having to do with the encapsulation
and use of various methods for initial authentication.  Several groups
(e.g., ipsec, cat) have invented methods of their own.  It is believed that
considerable efficiency of effort may be had by defining a single
standards-track protocol that can satisfy these multiple requirements.  Note
that this proposal does not conflict with the GSSAPI work of the CAT WG,
since the GSSAPI cannot be used for initial authentication (i.e., logon).
