Standards Track [Page 1] + +RFC 5192 PAA DHCP Options May 2008 + + +1. Introduction + + The Protocol for carrying Authentication for Network Access (PANA) + [RFC5191] defines a new Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) + [RFC3748] lower layer that uses IP between the protocol end-points. + + The PANA protocol is run between a PANA Client (PaC) and a PANA + Authentication Agent (PAA) in order to perform authentication and + authorization for the network access service. + + This document specifies DHCPv4 [RFC2131] and DHCPv6 [RFC3315] options + that allow PANA clients (PaCs) to discover PANA Authentication Agents + (PAAs). This is one of the methods for locating PAAs. + + The DHCP options defined in this document are used only as a PAA + discovery mechanism. These DHCP options MUST NOT be used to perform + any negotiation of the use of PANA between the PaC and a PAA. + +2. Specification of Requirements + + In this document, several words are used to signify the requirements + of the specification. These words are often capitalized. The key + words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", + "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document + are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119]. + +3. Terminology + + This document uses the DHCP terminology defined in [RFC2131], + [RFC2132], and [RFC3315]. + + This document uses the PANA terminology defined in [RFC5191]. In + particular, the following terms are defined: + + PANA Client (PaC): + + The client side of the protocol that resides in the access + device (e.g., laptop, PDA, etc.). It is responsible for + providing the credentials in order to prove its identity + (authentication) for network access authorization. The PaC and + the EAP peer are co-located in the same access device. + + PANA Authentication Agent (PAA): + + The protocol entity in the access network whose responsibility + it is to verify the credentials provided by a PANA client (PaC) + and authorize network access to the access device. The PAA and + + + + +Morand, et al. Standards Track [Page 2] + +RFC 5192 PAA DHCP Options May 2008 + + + the EAP authenticator (and optionally the EAP server) are + colocated in the same node. + +4. PANA Authentication Agent DHCPv4 Option + + This DHCPv4 option carries a list of 32-bit (binary) IPv4 addresses + indicating PANA Authentication Agents (PAAs) available to the PANA + client (PaC). + + The DHCPv4 option for PANA Authentication Agent has the format shown + in Figure 1. + + 0 1 + 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + | option-code | option-length | + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + | | + + PAA IPv4 Address + + | | + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + | ... | + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + Figure 1: PAA DHCPv4 option + + option-code: OPTION_PANA_AGENT (136). + + option-length: Length of the 'options' field in octets; + MUST be a multiple of four (4). + + PAA IPv4 Address: IPv4 address of a PAA for the client to use. + The PAAs are listed in the order of preference + for use by the client. + + + A PaC (DHCPv4 client) SHOULD request the PAA DHCPv4 Option in a + Parameter Request List, as described in [RFC2131] and [RFC2132]. + + If configured with a (list of) PAA address(es), a DHCPv4 server + SHOULD send a client the PAA DHCPv4 option, even if this option is + not explicitly requested by the client. + + A PaC (DHCPv4 client) receiving the PAA DHCPv4 option SHOULD use the + (list of) IP address(es) to locate PAA(s). + + The PaC (DHCPv4 client) MUST try the records in the order listed in + the PAA DHCPv4 option received from the DHCPv4 server. + + + + +Morand, et al. Standards Track [Page 3] + +RFC 5192 PAA DHCP Options May 2008 + + +5. PANA Authentication Agent DHCPv6 Option + + This DHCPv6 option carries a list of 128-bit (binary) IPv6 addresses + indicating PANA Authentication Agents (PAAs) available to the PANA + client (PaC). + + The DHCPv6 option for PANA Authentication Agent has the format shown + in Figure 2. + + 0 1 2 3 + 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + | option-code | option-length | + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + | | + + + + | | + + PAA IPv6 Address + + | | + + + + | | + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + | .... | + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + Figure 2: PAA DHCPv6 option + + option-code: OPTION_PANA_AGENT (40). + + option-length: Length of the 'options' field in octets; + MUST be a multiple of sixteen (16). + + PAA IPv6 Address: IPv6 address of a PAA for the client to use. + The PAAs are listed in the order of preference + for use by the client. + + A PaC DHCPv6 client SHOULD request the PAA DHCPv6 option in an + Options Request Option (ORO) as described in the DHCPv6 specification + [RFC3315]. + + If configured with a (list of) PAA address(es), a DHCPv6 server + SHOULD send a client the PAA DHCPv6 option, even if this option is + not explicitly requested by the client. + + A PaC (DHCPv6 client) receiving the PAA DHCPv6 option SHOULD use the + (list of) IP address(es) to locate PAA(s). + + The PaC (DHCPv6 client) MUST try the records in the order listed in + the PAA DHCPv6 option received from the DHCPv6 server. + + + +Morand, et al. Standards Track [Page 4] + +RFC 5192 PAA DHCP Options May 2008 + + +6. IANA Considerations + + The following DHCPv4 option code for PANA Authentication Agent + options has been assigned by IANA: + + Option Name Value Described in + ----------------------------------------------- + OPTION_PANA_AGENT 136 Section 4 + + The following DHCPv6 option code for PANA Authentication Agent + options has been assigned by IANA: + + Option Name Value Described in + ------------------------------------------------ + OPTION_PANA_AGENT 40 Section 5 + +7. Security Considerations + + The security considerations in [RFC2131], [RFC2132], and [RFC3315] + apply. If an adversary manages to modify the response from a DHCP + server or insert its own response, a PANA Client could be led to + contact a rogue PANA Authentication Agent, possibly one that then + intercepts authentication requests and/or denies network access to + the access device. + + In most networks, the DHCP exchange that delivers the options prior + to network access authentication is neither integrity protected nor + origin authenticated. Therefore, the options defined in this + document MUST NOT be used to perform any negotiation on the use of + PANA between the PANA Client and a PANA Authentication Agent. Using + the presence (or absence) of these DHCP options as an indication of + network mandating PANA authentication (or not) is an example of such + a negotiation mechanism. This negotiation would allow bidding-down + attacks by making the clients choose to use a lower-grade security + mechanism (or even no security at all). + +8.
