Hi to all,In the introduction (Section 1 and and 1.3) the phrase "catch-22" is used twice. I needed to look up the phrase to know what it meant. I'm sure that I am not the only one who does not know the meaning of this phrase, so I suggest the authors reword this so it is clear to everyone what is meant by that, regardless of knowing the respective saying.
Suggestion for the second occurrence: ---8<--- Enterprise deployments typically require an [IEEE802.1X]/EAP-based authentication to obtain network access. Protocols like Enrollment over Secure Transport (EST) [RFC7030] can be used to enroll devices into a Certification Authority to allow them to authenticate using802.1X/EAP. This creates a ~~catch-22~~ **circular dependency** where a certificate is needed for network access and network access is needed to obtain certificate.
---8<--- Something similar could be done for the first paragraph in the introduction. Greetings Janfred On 24.10.22 16:00, internet-dra...@ietf.org wrote:
A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the EAP Method Update WG of the IETF.
Title : Bootstrapped TLS Authentication
Authors : Owen Friel
Dan Harkins
Filename : draft-ietf-emu-bootstrapped-tls-01.txt
Pages : 12
Date : 2022-10-24
Abstract:
This document defines a mechanism that enables a bootstrapping device
to establish trust and mutually authenticate against a network.
Bootstrapping devices have a public private key pair, and this
mechanism enables a network server to prove to the device that it
knows the public key, and the device to prove to the server that it
knows the private key. The mechanism leverages existing DPP and TLS
standards and can be used in an EAP exchange.
