As you remember, during F2F meeting we had discussion on
pre-authentication and fast reauthentication. And with
pre-authentication, key is refreshed between MSS and BS. But with fast
authentication, Target BS and MSS may use AK/TEK keys transferred from
serving BS. And people in the F2F meeting made a consensus on supporting both
pre-authentication and fast re-authentication. That's what I remember from the
meeting and I checked with Junhyuk. So MSS/BS AK keying may not be unique and
transferred AK/TEK may be used transparently between MSS and target BS. But in
this case, it's better for target BS and MSS renegotiate PKM
when MSS and target BS recongise on-going traffic does not flow
for the time being not to interrupt handoff.
Due to the over-burden of pre-authentication(e.g. database
runout due to huge amount of AK/TEKs and respective timer for just one MSS,
two pairs of AK/TEKs in BS_1, BS_2, BS_ActiveBSSet, and then after movement of
MSS to another BS, AK/TEK sets in BS_10, BS_11, BS_ActiveBSSet2), and lots of
radio message transaction and backbone messages, it's better for operators to
decide which one be used. So pre-authentication and fast re-authentication
should optionally be supported.
So from this perspective, Junhyuk suggested me to put some
text on the fast re-authentication section. Any comment on this or
C80216e-04_50r1 is appreciated. Thanks.
[Phil] Much of the contributions discussion on transferability
of AK is not true. Each MSS/BS AK keying must be unique (see
C80216e-04/200) to maintain paired/private keying, or else you are useing public
keying, a completely different level of security and different set of
administration issues. However, incorporating SAID_Update along with
CID_Update in 6.3.2.3.8 is a good idea, and is transferable, thought the
language needs scrubbing. The proposed language for 6.3.20.4, 6.3.2.3.5,
6.3.2.3.6 and 11.5 needs to be harmonized with C80216e-04/144 as it duplicates
changes and language in that contribution. Need substantial revision to
D.2.5 to transfer only permissible security elements.
