IANA considerations for EAP. 2. Type space extension to support an expanded Type space. 3. EAP usage model. 4. Threat model and security requirements. 5. Documentation of interaction between EAP and other layers. 6. Resolution of interoperability issues. 7. EAP state machine. 8. EAP keying framework. 9. EAP network selection problem definition Items 1-6 were included within RFC 3748. Items 7-9 will be handled as separate documents. While the EAP WG is not currently chartered to standardize EAP methods, with the publication of RFC 3748, the EAP WG will assume responsibility for review of EAP methods requesting a Type code allocation, as specified in the IANA considerations section of RFC 3748. When the current work items are completed, the WG may be rechartered, or a new WG may be formed to standardize methods.
