The Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) has been standardized within the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) in order to provide flexible mechanisms for authentication and key management for network access control. However, some deficiencies have been revealed and recognized as a major obstacle to achieving secure and seamless handover in mobile scenarios. HOKEY (Handover Keying) Working Group in IETF is standardizing low-latency EAP re-authentication and key distribution protocols to address these deficiencies. This paper provides a critical analysis of the on-going work.
