Subject: [802.21] Security SG: Scope issues

In November meeting, we had a straw poll related to scope issues on SSOH (Security Signaling Optimization during Handover) problem.  The result was:

  Support EAP: Yes(20)/No(0)
  Support Non-EAP: Yes(10)/ No(7)
  Support inter-technology handover: Yes(21)/No(0)

We need more detailed discussion to make a decision.  Please state your opinion (as detailed as possible) on the scope-related issues listed below by next Security SG teleconference on December 18, 2007.

If those issues are resolved, we will be in a good position to come to an agreement on PAR/5C in January!

Issue 1: Should we support non-EAP in addition to EAP? Yes

Issue 2: Should we support handover to/from non-802 networks in addition to handover within 802 networks? Yes


Issue 3: Should we support inter-administrative-domain handover? Yes


The definition of "administrative domain" is given below:

"
Administrative Domain

  A collection of End Systems, Intermediate Systems, and
  subnetworks operated by a single organization or administrative
  authority.  The components which make up the domain are assumed
  to interoperate with a significant degree of mutual trust among
  themselves, but interoperate with other Administrative Domains
  in a mutually suspicious manner.

  Administrative Domains can be organized into a loose hierarchy
  that reflects the availability and authoritativeness of
  authentication and authorization information.  This hierarchy does
  not imply administrative containment, nor does it imply a strict
  tree topology.
