The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Handling Large Certificates and Long Certificate Chains in TLS-based EAP Methods' (draft-ietf-emu-eaptlscert-08.txt) as Informational RFC
This document is the product of the EAP Method Update Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Benjamin Kaduk and Roman Danyliw. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-emu-eaptlscert/ Technical Summary The Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), defined in RFC3748, provides a standard mechanism for support of multiple authentication methods. EAP-Transport Layer Security (EAP-TLS) and other TLS-based EAP methods are widely deployed and used for network access authentication. Large certificates and long certificate chains combined with authenticators that drop an EAP session after only 40 - 50 round-trips is a major deployment problem. This document looks at the this problem in detail and describes the potential solutions available. Working Group Summary There was good support in the working group for this document.
