Expires November 4, 2007 [Page 3] Internet-Draft PANA May 2007 1. Introduction Providing secure network access service requires access control based on the authentication and authorization of the clients and the access networks. Client-to-network authentication provides parameters that are needed to police the traffic flow through the enforcement points. A protocol is needed to carry authentication methods between the client and the access network. Scope of this work is identified as designing a network layer transport for network access authentication methods. The Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) [RFC3748] provides such authentication methods. In other words, PANA carries EAP which can carry various authentication methods. By the virtue of enabling transport of EAP above IP, any authentication method that can be carried as an EAP method is made available to PANA and hence to any link-layer technology. There is a clear division of labor between PANA (an EAP lower layer), EAP and EAP methods as described in [RFC3748]. Various environments and usage models for PANA are identified in Appendix A of [RFC4058]. Potential security threats for network-layer access authentication protocol are discussed in [RFC4016]. These have been essential in defining the requirements [RFC4058] on the PANA protocol. Note that some of these requirements are imposed by the chosen payload, EAP [RFC3748]. There are components that are part of a complete secure network access solution but are outside of the PANA protocol specification, including authentication method choice, data traffic protection, PAA-EP protocol, and PAA discovery. PANA authentication output is used for creating access control filters. These components are described in separate documents (see [I-D.ietf-pana-framework], [I-D.ietf-pana-snmp] and [I-D.ietf-dhc-paa-option]). The readers are recommended to read the PANA Framework document [I-D.ietf-pana-framework] prior to reading this protocol specification document. 1.1. Specification of Requirements In this document, several words are used to signify the requirements of the specification. These words are often capitalized. The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119]. Forsberg, et al. Expires November 4, 2007 [Page 4] Internet-Draft PANA May 2007 2. Terminology PANA Client (PaC): The client side of the protocol that resides in the access device (e.g., laptop, PDA, etc.). It is responsible for providing the credentials in order to prove its identity (authentication) for network access authorization. The PaC and the EAP peer are co-located in the same access device. PANA Authentication Agent (PAA): The protocol entity in the access network whose responsibility is to verify the credentials provided by a PANA client (PaC) and authorize network access to the access device. The PAA and the EAP authenticator (and optionally the EAP server) are co-located in the same node. Note the authentication and authorization procedure can, according to the EAP model, also be offloaded to the backend AAA infrastructure. PANA Session: A PANA session is established between the PANA Client (PaC) and the PANA Authentication Agent (PAA), and terminates as a result of an authentication and authorization or liveness test failure, a message delivery failure after retransmissions reach maximum values, session lifetime expiration, an explicit termination message or any event that causes discontinuation of the access service. A fixed session identifier is maintained throughout a session. A session cannot be shared across multiple network interfaces. Session Lifetime: A duration that is associated with a PANA session. For an established PANA session, the session lifetime is bound to the lifetime of the current authorization given to the PaC. The session lifetime can be extended by a new round of EAP authentication before it expires. Until a PANA session is established, the lifetime SHOULD be set to a value that allows the PaC to detect a failed session in a reasonable amount of time. Session Identifier: This identifier is used to uniquely identify a PANA session on the PaC and the PAA. It is included in PANA messages to bind the message to a specific PANA session. This bidirectional identifier is allocated by the PAA in the initial request message and freed Forsberg, et al. Expires November 4, 2007 [Page 5] Internet-Draft PANA May 2007 when the session terminates. The session identifier is assigned by the PAA and unique within the PAA. PANA Security Association (PANA SA): A PANA security association is formed between the PaC and the PAA by sharing cryptographic keying material and associated context. The formed duplex security association is used to protect the bidirectional PANA signaling traffic between the PaC and PAA. Enforcement Point (EP): A node on the access network where per-packet enforcement policies (i.e., filters) are applied on the inbound and outbound traffic of access devices. The EP and the PAA may be co-located. EPs should prevent data traffic from and to any unauthorized client unless it's either PANA or one of the other allowed traffic types (e.g., ARP, IPv6 neighbor discovery, DHCP, etc.). Master Session Key (MSK): A key derived by the EAP peer and the EAP server and transported to the EAP authenticator [RFC3748]. For additional terminology definitions see the PANA framework document [I-D.ietf-pana-framework]. Forsberg, et al. Expires November 4, 2007 [Page 6] Internet-Draft PANA May 2007 3. Protocol Overview The PANA protocol is run between a client (PaC) and a server (PAA) in order to perform authentication and authorization for the network access service. The protocol messaging consists of a series of requests and answers, some of which may be initiated by either end. Each message can carry zero or more AVPs within the payload. The main payload of PANA is EAP which performs authentication. PANA helps the PaC and PAA establish an EAP session. PANA is a UDP-based protocol. It has its own retransmission mechanism to reliably deliver messages. PANA messages are sent between the PaC and PAA as part of a PANA session. A PANA session consists of distinct phases: o Authentication and authorization phase: This is the phase that initiates a new PANA session and executes EAP between the PAA and PaC. The PANA session can be initiated by both the PaC and the PAA. The EAP payload (which carry an EAP method inside) is what is used for authentication. The PAA conveys the result of authentication and authorization to the PaC at the end of this phase. o Access phase: After a successful authentication and authorization the access device gains access to the network and can send and receive IP traffic through the EP(s). At any time during this phase, the PaC and PAA may optionally send PANA notification messages to test liveness of the PANA session on the peer. o Re-authentication phase: During the access phase, the PAA may, and the PaC should, initiate re-authentication if they want to update the PANA session lifetime before the PANA session lifetime expires. EAP is carried by PANA to perform re-authentication. This phase may be optionally triggered by both the PaC and the PAA without any respect to the session lifetime. The re- authentication phase is a sub-phase of the access phase. The session moves to this sub-phase from the access phase when re- authentication starts, and returns back there upon successful re- authentication. o Termination phase: The PaC or PAA may choose to discontinue the access service at any time. An explicit disconnect message can be sent by either end. If either the PaC or the PAA disconnects without engaging in termination messaging, it is expected that either the expiration of a finite session lifetime or failed Forsberg, et al. Expires November 4, 2007 [Page 7] Internet-Draft PANA May 2007 liveness tests would clean up the session at the other end. Cryptographic protection of messages between the PaC and PAA is possible as soon as EAP in conjunction with the EAP method exports a shared key. That shared key is used to create a PANA SA. The PANA SA helps generate per-message authentication codes that provide integrity protection and authentication. Forsberg, et al. Expires November 4, 2007 [Page 8] Internet-Draft PANA May 2007 4. Protocol Details The following sections explain in detail the various phases of a PANA session. 4.1. Authentication and Authorization Phase The main task of the authentication and authorization phase is to establish a PANA session and carry EAP messages between the PaC and the PAA. The PANA session can be initiated by either the PaC or the PAA. PaC-initiated Session: When the PaC initiates a PANA session, it sends a PANA-Client-Initiation message to the PAA. When the PaC is not configured with an IP address of the PAA before initiating the PANA session, DHCP [I-D.ietf-dhc-paa-option] is used as the default method for dynamically configuring the IP address of the PAA. Alternative methods for dynamically discovering the IP address of the PAA may be used for PaC-initiated session but they are outside the scope of this specification. The PAA that receives the PANA-Client-Initiation message MUST respond to the PaC with a PANA-Auth-Request message. PAA-initiated Session: When the PAA knows the IP address of the PaC, it MAY send an unsolicited PANA-Auth-Request to the PaC. The details of how PAA can learn the IP address of the PaC are outside the scope of this specification. A session identifier for the session is assigned by the PAA and carried in the initial PANA-Auth-Request message. The same session identifier MUST be carried in the subsequent messages exchanged between the PAA and PaC throughout the session. When the PaC receives the initial PANA-Auth-Request message from a PAA, it responds with a PANA-Auth-Answer message, if it wishes to continue the PANA session. The initial PANA-Auth-Request and PANA-Auth-Answer messages MUST have 'S' (Start) bit set, regardless of whether the session is initiated by the PaC or the PAA. Non-initial PANA-Auth-Request and PANA-Auth-Answer messages as well as any other messages MUST NOT have 'S' bit set. The PAA SHOULD limit the rate it processes incoming PANA-Client- Forsberg, et al. Expires November 4, 2007 [Page 9] Internet-Draft PANA May 2007 Initiation messages to provide robustness against denial-of service (DoS) attacks. Details of rate limiting are outside the scope of this specification. An Algorithm AVP MAY be included in the initial PANA-Auth-Request in order to indicate required and available capabilities for the network access. This AVP MAY be used by the PaC for assessing the capability match even before the authentication takes place. Since this AVP is provided in the insecure initial request, there are certain security risks involved in using the provided information. See Section 11 for further discussion on this. If the PAA wants to stay stateless in response to a PANA-Client-Initiation message, it SHOULD NOT include an EAP-Payload AVP in the initial PANA-Auth-Request message, and it SHOULD NOT re- transmit the message on a timer. For this reason, the PaC MUST retransmit the PANA-Client-Initiation message until it receives the second PANA-Auth-Request message (not a retransmission of the initial one) from the PAA. It is possible that both the PAA and the PaC initiate the PANA session at the same time, i.e., the PAA unsolicitedly sends the initial PANA-Auth-Request message while the PaC sends a PANA-Client-Initiation message. To resolve the race condition, the PAA SHOULD silently discard the PANA-Client-Initiation message received from the PaC after it has sent the initial PANA-Auth-Request message. The PAA uses the source IP address and the source port number of the PANA-Client-Initiation message to identify the PaC among multiple PANA-Client-Initiation messages sent from different PaCs. EAP messages are carried in PANA-Auth-Request messages. PANA-Auth-Answer messages are simply used to acknowledge receipt of the requests. As an optimization, a PANA-Auth-Answer message sent from the PaC MAY include the EAP message. This optimization SHOULD NOT be used when it takes time to generate the EAP message (due to, e.g., intervention of human input), in which case returning an PANA-Auth-Answer message without piggybacking an EAP message can avoid unnecessary retransmission of the PANA-Auth-Request message. A Nonce AVP MUST be included in the first PANA-Auth-Request and PANA-Auth-Answer messages following the initial PANA-Auth-Request and PANA-Auth-Answer messages (i.e. with 'S' (Start) bit set), and MUST NOT be included in any other message, except during re-authentication procedures (see Section 4.3). The result of PANA authentication is carried in the last PANA-Auth-Request message sent from the PAA to the PaC. This message Forsberg, et al. Expires November 4, 2007 [Page 10] Internet-Draft PANA May 2007 carries the EAP authentication result and the result of PANA authentication. The last PANA-Auth-Request message MUST be acknowledged with a PANA-Auth-Answer message. The last PANA-Auth-Request and PANA-Auth-Answer messages MUST have 'C' (Complete) bit set, and any other message MUST NOT have 'C' bit set. Figure 1 shows an example sequence in the authentication and authorization phase for a PaC-initiated session. PaC PAA Message(sequence number)[AVPs] -------------------------------------------------------------------- -----> PANA-Client-Initiation(0) <----- PANA-Auth-Request(x) // 'S' bit set -----> PANA-Auth-Answer(x) // 'S' bit set <----- PANA-Auth-Request(x+1)[Nonce, EAP-Payload] -----> PANA-Auth-Answer(x+1)[Nonce] // No piggybacking EAP -----> PANA-Auth-Request(y)[EAP-Payload] <----- PANA-Auth-Answer(y) <----- PANA-Auth-Request(x+2)[EAP-Payload] -----> PANA-Auth-Answer(x+2)[EAP-Payload] // Piggybacking EAP <----- PANA-Auth-Request(x+3)[Result-Code, EAP-Payload, Key-Id, Algorithm, Session-Lifetime, AUTH] // 'C' bit set -----> PANA-Auth-Answer(x+3)[Key-Id, AUTH] // 'C' bit set Figure 1: Example sequence for the authentication and authorization phase for a PaC-initiated session ("Piggybacking EAP" is the case in which an EAP-Payload AVP is carried in PAN.) When an EAP method that is capable of deriving keys is used during the authentication and authorization phase and the keys are successfully derived, the last PANA-Auth-Request message with 'C' (Complete) bit set MUST contain a Key-Id AVP and an AUTH AVP, and an Algorithm AVP for the first derivation of keys in the session, and any subsequent message MUST contain an AUTH AVP. An Algorithm AVP MUST NOT be contained in any PANA-Auth-Request message after the first derivation of keys in the session. EAP authentication can fail at a pass-through authenticator without sending an EAP Failure message [RFC4137]. When this occurs, the PAA SHOULD silently terminate the session, expecting that a session timeout on the PaC will clean up the state on the PaC. There is a case where EAP authentication succeeds with producing an EAP Success message but network access authorization fails due to, e.g., authorization rejected by a AAA or authorization locally Forsberg, et al. Expires November 4, 2007 [Page 11] Internet-Draft PANA May 2007 rejected by the PAA. When this occurs, the PAA MUST send the last PANA-Auth-Request with a result code PANA_AUTHORIZATION_REJECTED. If an MSK is available, the last PANA-Auth-Request and PANA-Auth-Answer messages with 'C' (Complete) bit set MUST be protected with an AUTH AVP and carry a Key-Id AVP. The last PANA-Auth-Request message MUST also carry an Algorithm AVP if it is for the first derivation of keys in the session. The PANA session MUST be terminated immediately after the last PANA-Auth message exchange. 4.2. Access Phase Once the authentication and authorization phase successfully completes, the PaC gains access to the network and can send and receive IP data traffic through the EP(s) and the PANA session enters the access phase. In this phase, PANA-Notification-Request and PANA-Notification-Answer messages with 'P' (Ping) bit set (ping request and ping answer messages, respectively) can be used for testing the liveness of the PANA session on the PANA peer. Both the PaC and the PAA are allowed to send a ping request to the communicating peer whenever they need to make sure the availability of the session on the peer and expect the peer to return a ping answer message. The ping request and answer messages MUST be protected with an AUTH AVP when a PANA SA is available. A ping request MUST NOT be sent in the authentication and authorization phase, re-authentication phase and termination phase. Implementations MUST limit the rate of performing this test. The PaC and the PAA can handle rate limitation on their own, they do not have to perform any coordination with each other. There is no negotiation of timers for this purpose. Additionally, an implementation MAY rate-limit processing the incoming ping requests. It should be noted that if a PAA or PaC which considers its connectivity lost after a relatively small number of unresponsive pings coupled with a peer that is aggressively rate-limiting the ping request and answer messages, false-positives could result. Therefore, a PAA or PaC should not rely on frequent ping operation to quickly determine loss of connectivity. 4.3. Re-authentication Phase The PANA session in the access phase can enter the re-authentication phase to extend the current session lifetime by re-executing EAP. Once the re-authentication phase successfully completes, the session re-enters the access phase. Otherwise, the session is terminated. When the PaC initiates re-authentication, it sends a PANA-Notification-Request message with 'A' bit set (a re-authentication request message) to the PAA. This message MUST Forsberg, et al. Expires November 4, 2007 [Page 12] Internet-Draft PANA May 2007 contain the session identifier assigned to the session being re-authenticated. If the PAA already has an established PANA session for the PaC with the matching session identifier, it MUST first respond with a PANA-Notification-Answer message with 'A' bit set (a re-authentication answer message), followed by a PANA-Auth-Request message that starts a new EAP authentication. If the PAA cannot identify the session, it MUST silently discard the message. The first PANA-Auth-Request and PANA-Auth-Answer messages in the re-authentication phase MUST have 'S' bit cleared and carry a Nonce AVP. The PaC may receive a PANA-Auth-Request before receiving the answer to its outstanding re-authentication request message. This condition can arise due to packet re-ordering or a race condition between the PaC and PAA when they both attempt to engage in re-authentication. The PaC MUST keep discarding the received PANA-Auth-Requests until it receives the answer to its request. When the PAA initiates re-authentication, it sends a PANA-Auth-Request message containing the session identifier for the PaC. The PAA MUST initiate EAP re-authentication before the current session lifetime expires. Re-authentication of an on-going PANA session MUST NOT reset the sequence numbers. For any re-authentication, if there is an established PANA SA, re- authentication request and answer messages and subsequent PANA-Auth-Request and PANA-Auth-Answer messages MUST be protected with an AUTH AVP. The final PANA-Auth-Request and PANA-Auth-Answer messages and any subsequent PANA message MUST be protected by using the key generated from the latest EAP authentication. Forsberg, et al. Expires November 4, 2007 [Page 13] Internet-Draft PANA May 2007 PaC PAA Message(sequence number)[AVPs] ------------------------------------------------------ -----> PANA-Notification-Request(q)[AUTH] // 'A' bit set <----- PANA-Notification-Answer(q)[AUTH] // 'A' bit set <----- PANA-Auth-Request(p)[EAP-Payload, Nonce, AUTH] -----> PANA-Auth-Answer(p)[AUTH, Nonce] -----> PANA-Auth-Request(q+1)[EAP-Payload, AUTH] <----- PANA-Auth-Answer(q+1)[AUTH] <----- PANA-Auth-Request(p+1)[EAP-Payload, AUTH] -----> PANA-Auth-Answer(p+1)[EAP-Payload, AUTH] <----- PANA-Auth-Request(p+2)[Result-Code, EAP-Payload, Key-Id, Algorithm, Session-Lifetime, AUTH] // 'C' bit set -----> PANA-Auth-Answer(p+2)[Key-Id, AUTH]// 'C' bit set Figure 2: Example sequence for the re-authentication phase initiated by PaC 4.4. Termination Phase A procedure for explicitly terminating a PANA session can be initiated either from the PaC (i.e., disconnect indication) or from the PAA (i.e., session revocation). The PANA-Termination-Request and PANA-Termination-Answer message exchanges are used for disconnect indication and session revocation procedures. The reason for termination is indicated in the Termination-Cause AVP. When there is an established PANA SA between the PaC and the PAA, all messages exchanged during the termination phase MUST be protected with an AUTH AVP. When the sender of the PANA-Termination-Request message receives a valid acknowledgment, all states maintained for the PANA session MUST be terminated immediately. Forsberg, et al. Expires November 4, 2007 [Page 14] Internet-Draft PANA May 2007 5. Processing Rules 5.1. Fragmentation PANA does not provide fragmentation of PANA messages. Instead, it relies on fragmentation provided by EAP methods and IP layer when needed. 5.2. Sequence Number and Retransmission PANA uses sequence numbers to provide ordered and reliable delivery of messages. The PaC and PAA maintain two sequence numbers: One is for setting the sequence number of the next outgoing request, the other is for matching the sequence number of the next incoming request. These sequence numbers are 32-bit unsigned numbers. They are monotonically incremented by 1 as new requests are generated and received, and wrapped to zero on the next message after 2^32-1. Answers always contain the same sequence number as the corresponding request. Retransmissions reuse the sequence number contained in the original packet. The initial sequence numbers (ISN) are randomly picked by the PaC and PAA as they send their very first request messages. PANA-Client-Initiation message carries sequence number 0. When a request message is received, it is considered valid in terms of sequence numbers if and only if its sequence number matches the expected value. This check does not apply to the PANA-Client-Initiation message and the initial PANA-Auth-Request message. When an answer message is received, it is considered valid in terms of sequence numbers if and only if its sequence number matches that of the currently outstanding request. A peer can only have one outstanding request at a time. PANA request messages are retransmitted based on a timer until an answer is received (in which case the retransmission timer is stopped) or the number of retransmission reaches the maximum value (in which case the PANA session MUST be terminated immediately). The retransmission timers SHOULD be calculated as described in Section 9 unless a given deployment chooses to use its own retransmission timers optimized for the underlying link-layer characteristics. Forsberg, et al. Expires November 4, 2007 [Page 15] Internet-Draft PANA May 2007 Unless dropped due to rate limiting, the PaC and PAA MUST respond to all duplicate request messages received. The last transmitted answer MAY be cached in case it is not received by the peer and that generates a retransmission of the last request. When available, the cached answer can be used instead of fully processing the retransmitted request and forming a new answer from scratch. 5.3. PANA Security Association A PANA SA is created as an attribute of a PANA session when EAP authentication succeeds with a creation of an MSK. A PANA SA is not created when the PANA authentication fails or no MSK is produced by the EAP authentication method. When a new MSK is derived in the PANA re-authentication phase, any key derived from the old MSK MUST be updated to a new one that is derived from the new MSK. In order to distinguish the new MSK from old ones, one Key-Id AVP MUST be carried in the last PANA-Auth-Request and PANA-Auth-Answer messages with 'C' (Complete) bit set at the end of the EAP authentication which resulted in deriving a new MSK. The Key-Id AVP is of type Unsigned32 and MUST contain a value that uniquely identifies the MSK within the PANA session. The last PANA-Auth-Answer message with 'C' (Complete) bit set in response to the last PANA-Auth-Request message with 'C' (Complete) bit set MUST contain a Key-Id AVP with the same MSK identifier carried in the request. The last PANA-Auth-Request and PANA-Auth-Answer messages with a Key-Id AVP MUST also carry an AUTH AVP whose value is computed by using the new PANA_AUTH_KEY derived from the new MSK. Although the specification does not mandate a particular method for calculation of the Key-Id AVP value, a simple method is to use monotonically increasing numbers. The PANA session lifetime is bounded by the authorization lifetime granted by the authentication server (same as the MSK lifetime). The lifetime of the PANA SA (hence the PANA_AUTH_KEY) is the same as the lifetime of the PANA session. The created PANA SA is deleted when the corresponding PANA session is terminated. PANA SA attributes as well as PANA session attributes are listed below: PANA Session attributes: * Session Identifier * IP address and UDP port number of the PaC. * IP address and UDP port number of the PAA. Forsberg, et al. Expires November 4, 2007 [Page 16] Internet-Draft PANA May 2007 * Sequence number for the next outgoing request * Sequence number for the next incoming request * Last transmitted message payload * Retransmission interval * Session lifetime * PANA SA attributes PANA SA attributes: * Nonce generated by PaC (PaC_nonce) * Nonce generated by PAA (PAA_nonce) * MSK * MSK Identifier * PANA_AUTH_KEY * Pseudo-random function * Integrity algorithm The PANA_AUTH_KEY is derived from the available MSK and it is used to integrity protect PANA messages. The PANA_AUTH_KEY is computed in the following way: PANA_AUTH_KEY = prf+(MSK, PaC_nonce|PAA_nonce|Session_ID|Key_ID) where the prf+ function is defined in IKEv2 [RFC4306]. The pseudo-random function to be used for the prf+ function is specified in the Algorithm AVP in the last PANA-Auth-Request message. The length of PANA_AUTH_KEY depends on the integrity algorithm in use. See Section 5.4 for the detailed usage of the PANA_AUTH_KEY. PaC_nonce and PAA_nonce are values of the Nonce AVP carried in the first non-initial PANA-Auth-Answer and PANA-Auth-Request messages in the authentication and authorization phase or the first PANA-Auth-Answer and PANA-Auth-Request messages in the re-authentication phase, respectively. Session_ID is the session identifier of the session. Key_ID is the value of the Key-Id AVP. Forsberg, et al. Expires November 4, 2007 [Page 17] Internet-Draft PANA May 2007 5.4. Message Authentication A PANA message can contain an AUTH AVP for cryptographically protecting the message. When an AUTH AVP is included in a PANA message, the value field of the AUTH AVP is calculated by using the PANA_AUTH_KEY in the following way: AUTH AVP value = PANA_AUTH_HASH(PANA_AUTH_KEY, PANA_PDU) where PANA_PDU is the PANA message including the PANA header, with the AUTH AVP value field first initialized to 0. PANA_AUTH_HASH represents the integrity algorithm specified in the Algorithm AVP in the last PANA-Auth-Request message. The PaC and PAA MUST use the same integrity algorithm to calculate an AUTH AVP they originate and receive. The algorithm is determined by the PAA. When the PaC does not support the integrity algorithm specified in the last PANA-Auth-Request message, it MUST silently discard the message. 5.5. Message Validity Check When a PANA message is received, the message is considered to be invalid at least when one of the following conditions are not met: o Each field in the message header contains a valid value including sequence number, message length, message type, version number, flags, session identifier, etc. o The message type is one of the expected types in the current state. Specifically the following messages are unexpected and invalid: * In the authentication and authorization phase and the re-authentication phase: + PANA-Client-Initiation after completion of the initial PANA-Auth-Request and PANA-Auth-Answer exchange. + Re-authentication request. + The last PANA-Auth-Request as well as ping request before completion of the initial PANA-Auth-Request and PANA-Auth-Answer exchange. + The initial PANA-Auth-Request after a PaC receives a valid non-initial PANA-Auth-Request. Forsberg, et al. Expires November 4, 2007 [Page 18] Internet-Draft PANA May 2007 + PANA-Termination-Request. * In the re-authentication phase: + PANA-Client-Initiation. + The initial PANA-Auth-Request. * In the access phase: + PANA-Auth-Request. + PANA-Client-Initiation. * In the termination phase: + PANA-Client-Initiation. + All requests but PANA-Termination-Request and ping request. o The message payload contains a valid set of AVPs allowed for the message type and there is no missing AVP that needs to be included in the payload and no AVP, which needs to be at a fixed position, is included in a position different from this fixed position. o Each AVP is decoded correctly. o When an AUTH AVP is included, the AVP value matches the hash value computed against the received message. o When an Algorithm AVP is included, the algorithms indicated in the AVP value is supported. Invalid messages MUST be discarded in order to provide robustness against DoS attacks. 5.6. PaC Updating its IP Address A PaC's IP address used for PANA can change in certain situations, e.g., when the PaC moves from one IP link to another within the same PAA's realm. In order to maintain the PANA session, the PAA needs to be notified about the change of PaC address. After the PaC has changed its IP address used for PANA, it MUST send any valid PANA message. If the message that carries the new PaC IP address in the Source Address field of the IP header is valid, the PAA MUST update the PANA session with the new PaC address. If there is an established PANA SA, the message MUST be protected with an AUTH Forsberg, et al. Expires November 4, 2007 [Page 19] Internet-Draft PANA May 2007 AVP. 5.7. Session Lifetime The authentication and authorization phase determines the PANA session lifetime and the lifetime is indicated to the PaC When the network access authorization succeeds. For this purpose, when the last PANA-Auth-Request message (i.e., with 'C' (Complete) bit set) in authentication and authorization phase or re-authentication phase carries a Result-Code AVP with a value of PANA_SUCCESS, a Session- Lifetime AVP MUST also be carried in the message. A Session-Lifetime AVP MUST be ignored when included in other PANA messages. The lifetime is a non-negotiable parameter that can be used by the PaC to manage PANA-related state. The PaC MUST initiate the re- authentication phase before the current session lifetime expires if it wants to extend the session. The PaC and the PAA MAY use information obtained outside PANA (e.g., lower-layer indications) to expedite the detection of a disconnected peer. Availability and reliability of such indications MAY depend on a specific link-layer or network topology and are therefore only hints. A PANA peer SHOULD use the ping request and answer exchange to verify that a peer is, in fact, no longer alive, unless information obtained outside PANA is being used to expedite the detection of a disconnected peer. The session lifetime parameter is not related to the transmission of ping request messages. These messages can be used for asynchronously verifying the liveness of the peer. The decision to send a ping request message is taken locally and does not require coordination between the peers. Forsberg, et al. Expires November 4, 2007 [Page 20] Internet-Draft PANA May 2007 6. Message Format This section defines message formats for PANA protocol. 6.1. IP and UDP Headers Any PANA message is unicast between the PaC and the PAA. For any PANA message sent from the peer that has initiated the PANA session, the UDP source port is set to any number and the destination port is set to the assigned PANA port number (to be assigned by IANA). For any PANA message sent from the other peer, the source port is set to the assigned PANA port number (to be assigned by IANA) and the destination port is copied from the source port of the last received message. In case both the PaC and PAA initiates the session (i.e., PANA-Client-Initiation and unsolicited PANA-Auth-Request messages cross each other), then the PaC is identified as the initiator. 6.2. PANA Message Header A summary of the PANA message header format is shown below. The fields are transmitted in network byte order. 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Version | Reserved | Message Length | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Flags | Message Type | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Session Identifier | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Sequence Number | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | AVPs ... +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- Version This Version field MUST be set to 1 to indicate PANA Version 1.

Expires November 4, 2007 [Page 22] Internet-Draft PANA May 2007 Message Type The Message Type field is two octets, and is used in order to communicate the message type with the message. The 16-bit address space is managed by IANA [ianaweb]. Session Identifier This field contains a 32 bit session identifier. Sequence Number This field contains contains a 32 bit sequence number. AVPs AVPs are a method of encapsulating information relevant to the PANA message. See section Section 6.3 for more information on AVPs. 6.3. AVP Format Each AVP of type OctetString MUST be padded to align on a 32-bit boundary, while other AVP types align naturally. A number of zero-valued bytes are added to the end of the AVP Value field till a word boundary is reached. The length of the padding is not reflected in the AVP Length field [RFC3588]. The fields in the AVP are sent in network byte order. The AVP format is: Forsberg, et al.

When set the AVP Code belongs to the specific vendor code address space. M (Mandatory) The 'M' Bit, known as the Mandatory bit, indicates whether support of the AVP is required. If an AVP with the 'M' bit set is received by the PaC or PAA and either the AVP or its value is unrecognized, the message MUST be considered as invalid. AVPs with the 'M' bit cleared are informational only and a receiver that receives a message with such an AVP that is not recognized, or whose value is not recognized, MAY simply ignore the AVP. Forsberg, et al. Expires November 4, 2007 [Page 24] Internet-Draft PANA May 2007 r (reserved) These flag bits are reserved for future use, and MUST be set to zero, and ignored by the receiver. AVP Length The AVP Length field is two octets, and indicates the number of octets in the Value field. The length of the AVP Code, AVP Length, AVP Flags, Reserved and Vendor-Id fields are not counted in the AVP Length value. Reserved This two-octet field is reserved for future use, and MUST be set to zero, and ignored by the receiver. Vendor-Id The Vendor-Id field is present if the 'V' bit is set in the AVP Flags field. The optional four-octet Vendor-Id field contains the IANA assigned "SMI Network Management Private Enterprise Codes" [ianaweb] value, encoded in network byte order. Any vendor wishing to implement a vendor-specific PANA AVP MUST use their own Vendor-Id along with their privately managed AVP address space, guaranteeing that they will not collide with any other vendor's vendor-specific AVP(s), nor with future IETF applications. Value The Value field is zero or more octets and contains information specific to the Attribute. The format of the Value field is determined by the AVP Code and Vendor-Id fields. The length of the Value field is determined by the AVP Length field. Unless otherwise noted, AVPs defined in this document will have the following default AVP Flags field settings: The 'M' bit MUST be set. The 'V' bit MUST NOT be set. Forsberg, et al.

PANA Messages Each Request/Answer message pair is assigned a Sequence Number, and the sub-type (i.e., request or answer) is identified via the 'R' (Request) bit in the Message Flags field of the PANA message header. Every PANA message MUST contain a message type in its header's Message Type field, which is used to determine the action that is to be taken for a particular message.

Algorithm AVP The Algorithm AVP (AVP Code 1) is used for conveying the pseudo-random function to derive PANA_AUTH_KEY as well as the integrity algorithm to compute an AUTH AVP. The AVP data is of type Unsigned32. The first 16-bit of the AVP data contains an IKEv2 Transform ID of Transform Type 2 [RFC4306] corresponding to the key derivation function. Forsberg, et al. Expires November 4, 2007 [Page 31] Internet-Draft PANA May 2007 The last 16-bit of the AVP data contains an IKEv2 Transform ID of Transform Type 3 [RFC4306] for the integrity algorithm. All PANA implementations MUST support PRF_HMAC_SHA1 (2) [RFC2104] for the key derivation algorithm and AUTH_HMAC_SHA1_160 (7) [RFC4595] corresponding to the integrity algorithm. 8.2. AUTH AVP The AUTH AVP (AVP Code 2) is used to integrity protect PANA messages. The AVP data payload contains the Message Authentication Code encoded in network byte order. The AVP length varies depending on the integrity algorithm specified in an Algorithm AVP. The AVP data is of type OctetString. 8.3. EAP-Payload AVP The EAP-Payload AVP (AVP Code 3) is used for encapsulating the actual EAP message that is being exchanged between the EAP peer and the EAP authenticator. The AVP data is of type OctetString. 8.4. Key-Id AVP The Key-Id AVP (AVP Code 4) is of type Integer32, and contains an MSK identifier. The MSK identifier is assigned by PAA and MUST be unique within the PANA session. 8.5. Nonce AVP The Nonce AVP (AVP Code 5) carries a randomly chosen value that is used in cryptographic key computations. The recommendations in [RFC4086] apply with regard to generation of random values. The AVP data is of type OctetString and it contains a randomly generated value in opaque format. The data length MUST be between 8 and 256 octets inclusive. The length of the nonces are determined based on the available pseudo-random functions (PRFs) and the degree of trust placed into the two PaC and the PAA to compute random values. The length of the random value for the nonce is determined whether 1. The PaC and the PAA each are likely to be able to compute a random nonce (according to [RFC4086]). The length of the nonce has to be 1/2 the length of the PRF key (e.g., 10 octets in the case of HMAC-SHA1). 2. The PaC and the PAA each are not trusted with regard to the computation of a random nonce (according to [RFC4086]). The Forsberg, et al. Expires November 4, 2007 [Page 32] Internet-Draft PANA May 2007 length of the nonce has to have the full length of the PRF key (e.g., 20 octets in the case of HMAC-SHA1). Furthermore, the strongest available PRF available for PANA has to be considered in this computation. Currently, only a single PRF (namely HMAC-SHA1) is available and therefore the maximum output length is 20 octets). The maximum length of the nonce value in PANA Version 1 SHOULD be therefore 20 octets. 8.6. Result-Code AVP The Result-Code AVP (AVP Code 6) is of type Unsigned32 and indicates whether an EAP authentication was completed successfully. Result- Code AVP values are described below. PANA_SUCCESS 0 Both authentication and authorization processes are successful. PANA_AUTHENTICATION_REJECTED 1 Authentication has failed. When this error is returned, it is assumed that authorization is automatically failed. PANA_AUTHORIZATION_REJECTED 2 The authorization process has failed. This error could occur when authorization is rejected by a AAA server or rejected locally by a PAA, even if the authentication procedure has succeeded. 8.7. Session-Lifetime AVP The Session-Lifetime AVP (AVP Code 7) contains the number of seconds remaining before the current session is considered expired. The AVP data is of type Unsigned32. 8.8. Termination-Cause AVP The Termination-Cause AVP (AVP Code 8) is used for indicating the reason why a session is terminated by the requester. The AVP data is of type Enumerated. The following Termination-Cause data values are used with PANA. LOGOUT 1 (PaC -> PAA) The client initiated a disconnect Forsberg, et al. Expires November 4, 2007 [Page 33] Internet-Draft PANA May 2007 ADMINISTRATIVE 4 (PAA -> PaC) The client was not granted access, or was disconnected, due to administrative reasons. SESSION_TIMEOUT 8 (PAA -> PaC) The session has timed out, and service has been terminated. Forsberg, et al. Expires November 4, 2007 [Page 34] Internet-Draft PANA May 2007 9. Retransmission Timers The PANA protocol provides retransmissions for the PANA-Client-Initiation message and all request messages. PANA retransmission timers are based on the model used in DHCPv6 [RFC3315]. Variables used here are also borrowed from this specification. PANA is a request/response-based protocol. The message exchange terminates when the requester successfully receives the answer or the message exchange is considered to have failed according to the retransmission mechanism described below. The retransmission behavior is controlled and described by the following variables: RT Retransmission timeout IRT Initial retransmission time MRC Maximum retransmission count MRT Maximum retransmission time MRD Maximum retransmission duration RAND Randomization factor With each message transmission or retransmission, the sender sets RT according to the rules given below. If RT expires before the message exchange terminates, the sender recomputes RT and retransmits the message. Each of the computations of a new RT include a randomization factor (RAND), which is a random number chosen with a uniform distribution between -0.1 and +0.1. The randomization factor is included to minimize synchronization of messages. The algorithm for choosing a random number does not need to be cryptographically sound. The algorithm SHOULD produce a different sequence of random numbers from each invocation. RT for the first message transmission is based on IRT: RT = IRT + RAND*IRT RT for each subsequent message transmission is based on the previous value of RT: Forsberg, et al. Expires November 4, 2007 [Page 35] Internet-Draft PANA May 2007 RT = 2*RTprev + RAND*RTprev MRT specifies an upper bound on the value of RT (disregarding the randomization added by the use of RAND). If MRT has a value of 0, there is no upper limit on the value of RT. Otherwise: if (RT > MRT) RT = MRT + RAND*MRT MRC specifies an upper bound on the number of times a sender may retransmit a message. Unless MRC is zero, the message exchange fails once the sender has transmitted the message MRC times. MRD specifies an upper bound on the length of time a sender may retransmit a message. Unless MRD is zero, the message exchange fails once MRD seconds have elapsed since the client first transmitted the message. If both MRC and MRD are non-zero, the message exchange fails whenever either of the conditions specified in the previous two paragraphs are met. If both MRC and MRD are zero, the client continues to transmit the message until it receives a response. 9.1. Transmission and Retransmission Parameters This section presents a table of values used to describe the message retransmission behavior of PANA requests that are retransmitted (REQ_*) and PANA-Client-Initiation message (PCI_*). The table shows default values. Parameter Default Description ------------------------------------------------ PCI_IRT 1 sec Initial PCI timeout. PCI_MRT 120 secs Max PCI timeout value. PCI_MRC 0 Max PCI retransmission attempts. PCI_MRD 0 Max PCI retransmission duration. REQ_IRT 1 sec Initial Request timeout. REQ_MRT 30 secs Max Request timeout value. REQ_MRC 10 Max Request retransmission attempts. REQ_MRD 0 Max Request retransmission duration. So for example the first RT for the PBR message is calculated using REQ_IRT as the IRT: RT = REQ_IRT + RAND*REQ_IRT Forsberg, et al. Expires November 4, 2007 [Page 36] Internet-Draft PANA May 2007 10. IANA Considerations This section provides guidance to the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) regarding registration of values related to the PANA protocol, in accordance with BCP 26 [IANA]. The following policies are used here with the meanings defined in BCP 26: "Private Use", "First Come First Served", "Expert Review", "Specification Required", "IETF Consensus", "Standards Action". This section explains the criteria to be used by the IANA for assignment of numbers within namespaces defined within this document. For registration requests where a Designated Expert should be consulted, the responsible IESG area director should appoint the Designated Expert. For Designated Expert with Specification Required, the request is posted to the PANA WG mailing list (or, if it has been disbanded, a successor designated by the Area Director) for comment and review, and MUST include a pointer to a public specification. Before a period of 30 days has passed, the Designated Expert will either approve or deny the registration request and publish a notice of the decision to the PANA WG mailing list or its successor. A denial notice must be justified by an explanation and, in the cases where it is possible, concrete suggestions on how the request can be modified so as to become acceptable. 10.1. PANA UDP Port Number PANA uses one well-known UDP port number Section 6.1), which needs to be assigned by the IANA. 10.2. PANA Message Header As defined in Section 6.2, the PANA message header contains two fields that requires IANA namespace management; the Version, Message Type and Flags fields. 10.2.1. Version The Version namespace is used to identify PANA versions. The Version values are assigned by Standards Action [IANA]. This document defines the Version 1. 10.2.2. Message Type The Message Type namespace is used to identify PANA messages. Values 0-65,519 are for permanent, standard message types, allocated by IETF Consensus [IANA]. This document defines the Message Types 1-4. See Section 7.1 through Section 7.7 for the assignment of the namespace Forsberg, et al. Expires November 4, 2007 [Page 37] Internet-Draft PANA May 2007 in this specification. The values 65,520 and 65,535 (hexadecimal values 0xfff0 - 0xffff) are reserved for experimental messages. As these codes are only for experimental and testing purposes, no guarantee is made for interoperability between the communicating PaC and PAA using experimental commands, as outlined in [IANA-EXP]. 10.2.3. Flags There are 16 bits in the Flags field of the PANA message header. This document assigns bit 0 ('R'), 1 ('S'), 2 ('C'), 3 ('A') and 4 ('P'). The remaining bits MUST only be assigned via a Standards Action [IANA]. 10.3. AVP Header As defined in Section 6.3, the AVP header contains three fields that requires IANA namespace management; the AVP Code, AVP Flags and Vendor-Id fields where only the AVP Code and AVP Flags create new namespaces. 10.3.1. AVP Code The 16-bit AVP Code namespace is used to identify attributes. There are multiple namespaces. Vendors can have their own AVP Codes namespace which will be identified by their Vendor-ID (also known as Enterprise-Number) and they control the assignments of their vendor-specific AVP codes within their own namespace. The absence of a Vendor-ID identifies the IETF IANA controlled AVP Codes namespace. The AVP Codes and sometimes also possible values in an AVP are controlled and maintained by IANA. AVP Code 0 is not used. This document defines the AVP Codes 1-10. See Section 8.1 through Section 8.8 for the assignment of the namespace in this specification. AVPs may be allocated following Designated Expert with Specification Required [IANA] or Standards Action. AVPs with 'M' bit set MUST be allocated by Standards Action. Note that PANA defines a mechanism for Vendor-Specific AVPs, where the Vendor-Id field in the AVP header is set to a non-zero value. Vendor-Specific AVPs codes are for Private Use and should be encouraged instead of allocation of global attribute types, for functions specific only to one vendor's implementation of PANA, where no interoperability is deemed useful. Where a Vendor-Specific AVP is implemented by more than one vendor, allocation of global AVPs should Forsberg, et al. Expires November 4, 2007 [Page 38] Internet-Draft PANA May 2007 be encouraged instead. 10.3.2. Flags There are 16 bits in the AVP Flags field of the AVP header, defined in Section 6.3. This document assigns bit 0 ('V') and bit 1 ('M'). The remaining bits should only be assigned via a Standards Action . 10.4. AVP Values Certain AVPs in PANA define a list of values with various meanings. For attributes other than those specified in this section, adding additional values to the list can be done on a First Come, First Served basis by IANA [IANA]. 10.4.1. Result-Code AVP Values As defined in Section 8.6 the Result-Code AVP (AVP Code 6) defines the values 0-2. All remaining values are available for assignment via IETF Consensus [IANA]. 10.4.2. Termination-Cause AVP Values As defined in Section 8.8, the Termination-Cause AVP (AVP Code 8) defines the values 1, 4 and 8. All remaining values are available for assignment via IETF Consensus [IANA]. Forsberg, et al. Expires November 4, 2007 [Page 39] Internet-Draft PANA May 2007 11. Security Considerations The PANA protocol defines a UDP-based EAP encapsulation that runs between two IP-enabled nodes. Various security threats that are relevant to a protocol of this nature are outlined in [RFC4016]. Security considerations stemming from the use of EAP and EAP methods are discussed in [RFC3748] [I-D.ietf-eap-keying]. This section provides a discussion on the security-related issues that are related to PANA framework and protocol design. An important element in assessing security of PANA design and deployment in a network is the presence of lower-layer (physical and link-layer) security. In the context of this document, lower-layers are said to be secure if they can prevent eavesdropping and spoofing of packets. Examples of such networks are physically-secured DSL networks and 3GPP2 networks with cryptographically-secured cdma2000 link-layer. In these examples, the lower-layer security is enabled even before running the first PANA-based authentication. In the absence of such a pre-established secure channel, one needs to be created in conjunction with PANA using a link-layer or network-layer cryptographic mechanism (e.g., IPsec). 11.1. General Security Measures PANA provides multiple mechanisms to secure a PANA session. PANA messages carry sequence numbers, which are monotonically incremented by 1 with every new request message. These numbers are randomly initialized at the beginning of the session, and verified against expected numbers upon receipt. A message whose sequence number is different than the expected one is silently discarded. In addition to accomplishing orderly delivery of EAP messages and duplicate elimination, this scheme also helps prevent an adversary spoofing messages to disturb ongoing PANA and EAP sessions unless it can also eavesdrop to synchronize on the expected sequence number. Furthermore, impact of replay attacks is reduced as any stale message (i.e., a request or answer with an unexpected sequence number and/or a session identifier for a non-existing session) and any duplicate answer are immediately discarded, and a duplicate request can trigger transmission of the cached answer (i.e., no need to process the request and generate a new answer). The PANA framework defines EP which is ideally located on a network device that can filter traffic from the PaCs before the traffic enters the Internet/intranet. A set of filters can be used to discard unauthorized packets, such as the initial PANA-Auth-Request message that is received from the segment of the access network where only the PaCs are supposed to be connected (i.e., preventing PAA Forsberg, et al. Expires November 4, 2007 [Page 40] Internet-Draft PANA May 2007 impersonation). The protocol also provides authentication and integrity protection to PANA messages when the used EAP method can generate cryptographic session keys. A PANA SA is generated based on the MSK exported by the EAP method. This SA is used for generating an AUTH AVP to protect the PANA message header and payload (including the complete EAP message). The cryptographic protection prevents an adversary from acting as a man-in-the-middle, injecting messages, replaying messages and modifying the content of the exchanged messages. Any packet that fails to pass the AUTH verification is silently discarded. The earliest this protection can be enabled is when the PANA-Auth-Request message that signals a successful authentication (EAP Success) is generated. Starting with these messages, any subsequent PANA message until the session gets torn down can be cryptographically protected. The lifetime of the PANA SA is set to PANA session lifetime which is bounded by the authorization lifetime granted by the authentication server. An implementation MAY add a grace period to that value. Unless the PANA session is extended by executing another EAP authentication, the PANA SA is removed when the current session expires. The ability to use cryptographic protection within PANA is determined by the used EAP method, which is generally dictated by the deployment environment. Insecure lower-layers necessitate use of key-generating EAP methods. In networks where lower-layers are already secured, cryptographic protection of PANA messages is not necessary. 11.2. Initial Exchange The initial PANA-Auth-Request and PANA-Auth-Answer exchange is vulnerable to spoofing attacks as these messages are not authenticated and integrity protected. In order to prevent very basic DoS attacks an adversary should not be able to cause state creation by sending PANA-Client-Initiation messages to the PAA. This protection is achieved by allowing the responder (PAA) to create as little amount of state as possible in the initial message exchange. However, it is difficult to prevent all spoofing attacks in the initial message exchange entirely. In networks where lower-layers are not secured prior to running PANA, the capability discovery enabled through inclusion of an Algorithm AVP in the initial PANA-Auth-Request message is susceptible to spoofing leading to DoS attacks. Therefore, usage of this AVP during the initial message exchange in such insecure networks is NOT Forsberg, et al. Expires November 4, 2007 [Page 41] Internet-Draft PANA May 2007 RECOMMENDED. The same AVP is delivered with integrity protection via the last PANA-Auth-Request message upon successful authentication. 11.3. EAP Methods Eavesdropping EAP messages might cause problems when the EAP method is weak and enables dictionary or replay attacks or even allows an adversary to learn the long-term password directly. Furthermore, if the optional EAP Response/Identity payload is used then it allows the adversary to learn the identity of the PaC. In such a case a privacy problem is prevalent. To prevent these threats, [I-D.ietf-pana-framework] suggests using proper EAP methods for particular environments. Depending on the deployment environment an EAP authentication method which supports user identity confidentiality, protection against dictionary attacks and session key establishment must be used. It is therefore the responsibility of the network operators and users to choose a proper EAP method. 11.4. Cryptographic Keys When the EAP method exports an MSK, this key is used to produce a PANA SA with PANA_AUTH_KEY with a distinct key ID. The PANA_AUTH_KEY is unique to the PANA session, and takes PANA-based nonce values into computation to cryptographically separate itself from the MSK. The PANA_AUTH_KEY is solely used for authentication and integrity protection of the PANA messages within the designated session. The PANA SA lifetime is bounded by the MSK lifetime. Another execution of EAP method yields in a new MSK, and updates the PANA SA, PANA_AUTH_KEY and key ID. 11.5. Per-packet Ciphering Networks that are not secured at the lower-layers prior to running PANA can rely on enabling per-packet data traffic ciphering upon successful PANA SA establishment. The PANA framework allows generation of cryptographic keys from the PANA SA and use the keys with a secure association protocol to enable per-packet cryptographic protection such as link-layer or IPsec-based ciphering [I-D.ietf-pana-ipsec]. These mechanisms ultimately establish a cryptographic binding between the data traffic generated by and for a client and the authenticated identity of the client. Data traffic must be minimally data origin authenticated, replay and integrity protected, and optionally encrypted. How cryptographic keys are generated from the PANA SA and used with a secure association Forsberg, et al. Expires November 4, 2007 [Page 42] Internet-Draft PANA May 2007 protocol is outside the scope of this document. 11.6. PAA-to-EP Communication The PANA framework allows separation of PAA from EP. SNMPv3 [I-D.ietf-pana-snmp] MAY be used between the PAA and EP for provisioning authorized PaC information on the EP. This exchange MUST be always physically or cryptographically protected for authentication, integrity and replay protection. 11.7. Liveness Test A PANA session is associated with a session lifetime. The session is terminated unless it is refreshed by a new round of EAP authentication before it expires. Therefore, at the latest a disconnected client can be detected when its session expires. A disconnect may also be detected earlier by using PANA ping messages. A request message can be generated by either PaC or PAA at any time in access phase, expecting the peer to respond with an answer message. A successful round-trip of this exchange is a simple verification that the peer is alive. This test can be engaged when there is a possibility that the peer might have disconnected (e.g., after the discontinuation of data traffic for an extended period of time). Periodic use of this exchange as a keep-alive requires additional care as it might result in congestion and hence false alarms. This exchange is cryptographically protected when a PANA SA is available in order to prevent threats associated with the abuse of this functionality. Any valid PANA answer message received in response to a recently sent request message can be taken as an indication of peer's liveness. The PaC or PAA MAY forgo sending an explicit ping request message if a recent exchange has already confirmed that the peer is alive. 11.8. Early Termination of a Session The PANA protocol supports the ability for both the PaC and the PAA to transmit a tear-down message before the session lifetime expires. This message causes state removal, a stop of the accounting procedure and removes the installed per-PaC state on the EP(s). This message is cryptographically protected when PANA SA is present.
