Chair hat on:

The draft needs to be formally adopted as a working group item before moving to 
last call.

Chair hat off:

I support the adoption of this draft as a working group item. This is a charter 
item and the draft is simple enough to move forward rather quickly. The code 
has been updated in the wpa_supplicant and hostapd:

I have a couple of comments:

I think it would really help to document the fact that the Session-Id length 
for EAP-SIM is different for full authentication and fast re-authentication. 
That's because for full authentication, the Session-Id is:

Session-Id = 0x12 || RAND || NONCE_MT

and RFC 4186 says that EAP server should obtain n GSM triplets where n = 2 or n 
= 3. So the length is either:

1 (Method-Id) + 32 (RAND*2) +16 (NONCE_MT) = 49 or

1 (Method-Id) + 48 (RAND*3) + 16 (NONCE_MT) =65.

However, in fast-reauthentication, the Session-Id is:

Session-Id = 0x12 || NONCE_S || MAC

So the length is:

1 (Method-Id) + 16 (NONCE_S) + 16 (MAC) = 33

I found it surprising while implementing that the Session-Ids were different in 
lengths.

My next question is about Session-Id for PEAP. The draft currently defines 
Session-Id for EAP-PEAP as:


      Session-Id = 0x19 || client.random || server.random).

Do you plan to update this for TLS 1.3 and use TLS-Exporter in your other 
draft:  draft-dekok-emu-tls-eap-types? Do we need to do this twice in separate 
drafts?

  This is a charter item:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/emu/about/

- Define session identifiers for fast re-authentication for
EAP-SIM, EAP-AKA, and EAP-AKA’. The lack of this definition
is a recently discovered bug in the original RFCs.

  There have been minimal comments on the document.  What comments have been 
received are supportive.
