25、1 Scope The extensible authentication protocol (EAP) is an authentication framework that supports multiple authentication mechanisms between a supplicant and an authentication server. EAP can work directly over lower layers, e.g., the data link layer, such as the point-to-point protocol (PPP), IEEE
26、802, CDMA2000, UMTS, or VDSL/ADSL. For example, IEEE 802.1X is a typical transport mechanism for EAP over 802 LANs. The EAP basically performs authentication for a device attached to a LAN, establishing a secure point-to-point connection or preventing access by an unauthorized device. In other words
27、, EAP can be used to authenticate the supplicant wishing to access the network. The AAA function may be used as one of the key functions for lower-layer security of a data communication network. AAA enables transporting the secret key from the authentication server to the authenticator. Thus, defini
28、ng the requirements of the EAP method and key management protocol, establishing criteria for selecting an optimal EAP method among several existing EAP methods, and defining a suitable framework for EAP and an optimal key management protocol including key derivation methods for lower-layer security
29、in end-to-end data communication are essential. This Recommendation applies mainly to EAP-based authentication and key management protocol for data communication with a wireless access network where communication through the wireless access network should be protected by the key material derived fro
30、m the key management protocol. This Recommendation describes a framework for authentication and key management to secure the lower layer in data communication. It also provides guidance on the selection of EAP methods for a data communication network and describes the mechanism for key management an
31、d possible key hierarchy for lower-layer security in a data communication network. This Recommendation is to provide complete sets for EAP-based authentication itself but also the key management, from threat analysis to requirements, allowing the network operator to choose an adequate EAP method by
32、using some criteria described for a specific network environment. 2 References The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation.

38、erms defined elsewhere 3.1.1 passive attack ITU-T X.1151: This refers to an attack that involves listening, i.e., eavesdropping, without modifying or supplementing information. 3.1.2 server-compromised attack ITU-T X.1151: This refers to an attack wherein an attacker obtains verifier information fro
39、m the server and launches a dictionary attack on the password file. 3.1.3 temporal key (TK) ISO/IEC 8802-11: This pertains to the keying materials for the encryption and integrity of messages during later data sessions. TK generally resides in the part of PTK. 3.2 Terms defined in this Recommendatio
40、n 3.2.1 4-way handshake adapted from IETF RFC 4017: A 4-way handshake is a process consisting of 4 messages exchanged by two parties, where a pair-wise master key is involved. As a Pair-wise Authentication and Key Management Protocol (AKMP) defined in ISO/IEC 8802-11, it confirms the mutual possessi
41、on of a Pair-wise Master Key by two parties and distributes a Group Key. 3.2.2 authentication, authorization, accounting (AAA) adapted from IETF RFC 4017: The AAA protocol can be used as transport mechanism for the EAP message; it consists of RADIUS and Diameter. In general, the terms “AAA server“ a
42、nd “backend authentication server“ are used interchangeably. 3.2.3 authenticator adapted from IETF RFC 4017: The authenticator refers to the endpoint of the link initiating EAP authentication when a supplicant wants to access the network. 3.2.4 backend authentication server adapted from IETF RFC 401
43、7: A backend authentication server, i.e., authentication server, pertains to an entity providing authentication service to an authenticator. A typical backend authentication server is the AAA server. 3.2.5 credentials: A set of security-related information comprising keys, keying material and crypto
44、graphic algorithm-related parameters that can be used to establish the identity of an entity, or to help that entity communicate securely. 3.2.6 EAP server adapted from IETF RFC 4017: This entity executes the EAP authentication method with the supplicant. In case no backend authentication server is
45、used, the EAP server plays the role of the authenticator. In case a backend authentication server is used, that is, if the authenticator operates in pass-through mode, i.e., the authenticator forwards the EAP message without any modification to the supplicant or vice versa, the EAP server is placed
46、on the backend authentication server. 3.2.7 key confirmation: A procedure to prove one entity that another entity established the correct secret keying material as a result of a key establishment. Rec. ITU-T X.1034 (02/2011) 3 3.2.8 man-in-the-middle attack adapted from ITU-T X.1151: This refers to
47、an attack wherein an attacker intercepts the public key being exchanged by two entities and substitutes his/her own public key to impersonate the recipient, where the attacker can own the public key or take a copy of it while being exchanged. This attack compromises the security of the cryptosystem.
48、 3.2.9 master key (MK): Top-level keying material is shared between the supplicant and the authentication server to derive the master session key. In general, a master key is different from the master session key. This is because the MK represents a positive access decision for a supplicant by the a
49、uthentication server. 3.2.10 master session key (MSK) adapted from IETF RFC 4017: This refers to the keying material derived between the EAP peer and server and exported to the authenticator using the EAP method. MSK is at least 64 octets long. In existing implementations, an AAA server acting as an EAP server transports the MSK to the authenticator. It refers to the privilege given to a supplicant by an authenticator to access the lower layer of a data communication network. In this Recomm
