Although I see that the EMU WG concluded earlier this year, I'd like to ask 
those on this mail list to consider whether an update to RFC 5216 may be worth 
pursuing.

Wireless LAN deployments commonly leverage the EAP-TLS standard. The IEEE took 
steps earlier this year to raise the bar for wireless security through 
publishing the new 802.11ac standard.

RFC 5216 currently requires TLS 1.0, and the only mandatory cipher suite 
specified is TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA. I'd like to suggest updating the 
standard in a manner that also requires mandatory support for TLS 1.2 and 
ECDHE_ECDSA AEAD cipher suites.



Best regards,

Clint
