doc.: IEEE /1160r5 Submission Benefits of using EAP/EAP-RP for FILS EAP/EAP-RP allows multiple authentication protocols to be supported Allows authentication server to control which authentication protocol is used without the authenticator(Access Point) being fully configured –Authenticator can act as a pass through –Authenticator acts only on the outcome of authentication (say, deny access etc.) Allows reuse of subscriber credentials defined for interworking with 3GPP EPC No additional standardization effort needed for AP-AS communication No CPU intensive cryptographic computation required at the AP Minimal air interface occupancy –Proposal reduces link setup including secure IP address assignment to 1.5 roundtrip (including beacon) when EAP-ERP is used Allows encryption of IP address assignment req/resp Nov 2011 Qualcomm, Allied Telsis, CSR, FOKUS, HuaweiSlide 7
