Hi, Sam:

     Comments for clarification.

     In RFC2743(GSS-API), there are some secentences:
       P4 "The security services available through GSS-API are 
implementable over a 
       range of underlying mechanisms based on secret-key and public-key 
cryptographic technoliges".

       P88 "Clause 5, Mechanism-specific example scenarios
       5.1 Kerberos V5 
       5.3 X.509 Authentication Framework"
 
     According to the text above, my understanding is that GSS-API can 
support
     a set of security mechanisms, it is NOT limited into the single 
Kerberos
     mechanisms. 

     In RFC5296(ERP), it says "3. ERP Description 
     ... ERP is a single round-trip exchange between the peer and the 
server; 
     it is independent of the lower layer and the EAP method used during 
     the full EAP exchange." 
     You wrote "ERP--it's just another EAP method after all". 

     I am not sure whether they are consistent.

Right.  I'd prefer to focus on the Kerberos-based approaches because we
have a lot of experience with them (the Moonshot implementation and your
implementation) and because they seem to be rather simple.  I think for
the sorts of services that use ABFAB, ERP would require more
infrastructure and might be more complex.  Nothing precludes using
ERP--it's just another EAP method after all.  However for application
bridging it seems like there are environments where the two directions
we're already working on (gss-preauth and the reauth within Moonshot)
are far more attractive.
