Hi.

One of EMU's goals is to produce methods that meet requirements of RFC
4962 and hopefully the EAP keying framework.

I've been a bit concerned about what you are going to do about channel
bindings.  It seems clear that EAP channel bindings are not mature
enough that we want to require all your methods support
them--especially not the EAP TLS draft that is on my plate now.
However channel bindings seem important for meeting the RFC 4962
requirements to authenticate all parties and limit the key scope.


So, how do we proceed?
I was discussing the issue with Tim, Russ and Jari.
They had what I think is good advice.

I'm going to ask that you show that it would be possible to extend any
method you send to me to support channel bindings in an interoperable
manner in the future.  I would want to understand that it is possible
to make it work with old clients or old EAP servers.  Once I'm
convinced it is possible to add in the future, I will be OK on the
channel bindings issue.

does this seem reasonable?
