The EAP Re-authentication Protocol (ERP) Local Domain Name DHCPv6 Option
Abstract
In order to derive a Domain-Specific Root Key (DSRK) from the
Extended Master Session Key (EMSK) generated as a side effect of an
Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) method, the EAP peer must
discover the name of the domain to which it is attached.
This document specifies a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
Version 6 (DHCPv6) option designed to allow a DHCPv6 server to inform
clients using the EAP Re-authentication Protocol (ERP) EAP method of
the name of the local domain for ERP.

1. Introduction
The EAP Re-authentication Protocol (ERP) [RFC5296] is designed to
allow faster re-authentication of a mobile device that was previously
authenticated by means of the Extensible Authentication Protocol
[RFC3748]. Given that the local root key (e.g., a DSRK, as described
in RFC 5295 [RFC5295]) is generated using the local domain name
(LDN), LDN discovery is an important part of re-authentication. As
described in RFC 5296 [RFC5296], the LDN to be used in ERP can be
learned by the mobile device through the ERP exchange or via a lower-
layer mechanism. However, no lower-layer mechanisms for LDN
discovery have yet been defined.
This document specifies an extension to DHCPv6 for LDN to be used
in ERP.

2. Terminology
2.1. Standards Language
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].
2.2. Acronyms
o FQDN: Fully Qualified Domain Name
o AAA: Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting
o DSRK: Domain-Specific Root Key
3. Option Format
In DHCPv6-based local domain name discovery, the LDN option is used
by the DHCPv6 client to obtain the local domain name from the DHCPv6
server after full EAP authentication has taken place.
The contents of the ERP Local Domain Name option are intended only
for use with ERP and do not represent the name of a local domain for
any other purposes.
3.1. DHCPv6 ERP Local Domain Name Option
The format of this option is:
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

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| erp-local-domain-name...
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-
option code
OPTION_ERP_LOCAL_DOMAIN_NAME (65)
option-length
Length of the erp-local-domain-name field, in octets
Zorn, et al. Standards Track [Page 3]
^L
RFC 6440 The ERP Local Domain Name DHCPv6 Option December 2011
erp-local-domain-name
This field contains the name of the local ERP domain and MUST be
encoded as specified in Section 8 of RFC 3315 [RFC3315]. Note
that this encoding does enable the use of internationalized domain
names, but only as a set of A-labels [RFC5890].
4. Client Behavior
If a DHCPv6 client doesn't know the ERP LDN and requires the DHCPv6
server to provide the DHCPv6 ERP LDN option, it MUST include an
Option Request option requesting the DHCPv6 ERP Local Domain Name
option, as described in Section 22.7 of RFC 3315 [RFC3315].
When the DHCPv6 client receives an ERP Local Domain Name option with
the ERP LDN present in it, it MUST verify that the option length is
no more than 256 octets (the maximum length of a single fully
qualified domain name (FQDN) allowed by the DNS), and that the local
domain name is a properly encoded single FQDN, as specified in
Section 8 of RFC 3315 ("Representation and Use of Domain Names")
[RFC3315].
5. Relay Agent Behavior
If a DHCPv6 relay agent has pre-existing knowledge of the ERP local
domain name for a client (for example, from a previous AAA exchange),
it SHOULD include it in an instance of the DHCPv6 ERP Local Domain
Name option and forward to the DHCPv6 server as a suboption of the
Relay-Supplied Options option [RFC6422].
6. Security Considerations
The communication between the DHCPv6 client and the DHCPv6 server for
the exchange of local domain name information is security sensitive
and requires server authentication and integrity protection. DHCPv6
security as described in [RFC3315] can be used for this purpose.
7. IANA Considerations
IANA has added the name "OPTION_ERP_LOCAL_DOMAIN_NAME" to the
registry titled "Options Permitted in the Relay-Supplied Options
Option" maintained at http://www.iana.org/.
IANA has assigned one new option code to the registry titled "DHCP
Option Codes" maintained at http://www.iana.org/, referencing this
document.
