Hi Tuomas, 

This is an interesting work.

We have been investigating how to send EAP over the CoAP protocol specifically 
thinking of IoT devices 
(https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-marin-ace-wg-coap-eap-06 
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-marin-ace-wg-coap-eap-06>). Being an EAP 
lower layer, CoAP-EAP is agnostic to any EAP method. From what I see, EAP-NOOB 
seems to be an interesting proposal for authentication of IoT devices, since 
there is no pre-provisioning or credentials or identities. Because EAP-NOOB 
does not require large messages, causing fragmentation, it could be integrated 
in a real scenario using CoAP-EAP as EAP lower layer. 

Best Regards, 
Dan. 


 that goes hand-in-hand with an EAP Lower Layer that we have proposed in

> Abstract:
>    Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) provides support for
>    multiple authentication methods.  This document defines the EAP-NOOB
>    authentication method for nimble out-of-band (OOB) authentication and
>    key derivation.  This EAP method is intended for bootstrapping all
>    kinds of Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices that have a minimal user
>    interface and no pre-configured authentication credentials.  The
>    method makes use of a user-assisted one-directional OOB channel
>    between the peer device and authentication server.
