Hi Bernard,

Sam also suggested to add channel bindings and to address internalization support in a proper way.

Do you mean internationalization?
Typo.

Yes. That's what I meant.


If so, I'm not quite sure what this means. RFC 4282 supports internationalization of the NAI. Are we talking about internationalization of error messages? For TLS-based EAP methods this will often depend on TLS internationalization support.

Sam mentioned it in context of password based EAP methods.


With respect to Channel Bindings, it should be understood that no proposals for this have ever been implemented, as far as I am aware. So a first step would be for a method to choose one of the approaches to Channel Bindings and support it (probably as an experimental extension), and then to evaluate the experiment so we can understand how well (or badly) the chosen approach works. At that point we might be ready to support Channel Bindings in other methods.


Doesn't RFC 4962 mandate that channel binding has to be provided by an EAP method. At least it gets mentioned every time in discussions about new EAP methods.

The market does not seem to be excited about a number of aspects. One the other hand we write documents and mandate things that do not seem to have any chance for deployment.

Ciao
Hannes
